Priority must be given to vehicles from the opposite direction sign

What it means

The road ahead narrows to one lane, often at a bridge or a build-out, and you MUST give way to anything coming the other way. The red arrow is your direction; the bigger black one is theirs. Hold back before the narrow section and only go when you can see it is clear right through.

Highway Code Rule 109 — read it on GOV.UK
