A warning sign
Crossroads
A red triangle with a cross warns of a crossroads ahead - a junction where another road crosses yours.
01
What it means
The plus symbol means roads cross ahead. Depending on the markings and signs you may have priority or have to give way, so approach ready to slow, look both ways, and react to traffic emerging.
02
Where you'll see it
On the approach to crossroads, especially where the side roads aren't obvious or visibility is limited.
03
On your driving test
Junction observation is the single most common reason people fail. At a crossroads, look early into both side roads and don't assume you have priority - check the markings.
