Regulatory signs

Give way to traffic on the major road

Give way to traffic on the major road sign

What it means

You are joining a more important road and the traffic already on it has priority. You will meet this at the end of side roads and on roundabout approaches, with broken white lines across your lane. Slow early, look both ways, and you MUST give way - though you need not stop if it is genuinely clear.

Highway Code Rule 172 — read it on GOV.UK
