1. Crossroad shape

A crossroad shape sign is an additional panel placed below a main warning or priority sign that shows the exact layout of an upcoming intersection. It provides a simplified diagram of the junction, indicating how roads connect (e.g. straight crossing, T-junction, side road from left/right), so drivers can better understand the structure of the intersection and anticipate traffic from specific directions.

  • Mounted below another sign (not used on its own).
  • Shows the shape of the junction ahead.
  • Highlights the priority road with a thicker line.
  • Common Variants:
    • Crossroads (4-way intersection).
    • T-junction (left or right).
    • Side road joining from left or right.
    • Priority road bending through the junction.
