Priority Road
Priority traffic signs indicate the order in which vehicles shall pass intersection points. Vehicles often come into conflict with other vehicles and pedestrians because their intended courses of travel intersect, and thus interfere with each other's routes. The general principle that establishes who has the right to pass first is called "Right-of-way (traffic), right of way" or "priority". It establishes who has the right to use the conflicting part of the road and who has to wait until the other does so. The vehicle that does not need to wait is said to "have the right of way" or to "have priority." Types of sign A Yield sign, give way sign, also known as a yield sign in some countries, informs the driver that they must give way to vehicles on the major road. Under the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, Vienna Convention, the standard sign shall be a white or yellow inverted triangle with a red border. This originates in Denmark, with the red and white coming fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Traffic Sign
Traffic signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of or above roads to give instructions or provide information to road users. The earliest signs were simple wooden or stone milestones. Later, signs with directional arms were introduced, for example the fingerposts in the United Kingdom and their wooden counterparts in Saxony. With traffic volumes increasing since the 1930s, many countries have adopted pictorial signs or otherwise simplified and standardized their signs to overcome language barriers, and enhance traffic safety. Such pictorial signs use symbols (often silhouettes) in place of words and are usually based on international protocols. Such signs were first developed in Europe, and have been adopted by most countries to varying degrees. International conventions International conventions such as Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals and Geneva Convention on Road Traffic have helped to achieve a degree of uniformity in traffic signing in various ...

Filter-in-turn
A filter in turn is a type of traffic junction found in the Channel Islands. The basic concept is that vehicles are required to take turns to go through the junction. Filter in turn junctions take slightly different forms across the island. Due to a signage change in Jersey, both islands now use the same sign to indicate a filter in turn. Jersey In Jersey, there are five filter in turns.The first is a roundabout in Beaumont where traffic must take turns to move round the roundabout rather than the regular system of Give Way to the right. Three of the junctions are on the St Helier ring road and were introduced in 2012. They are effectively merge in turn junctions at various gyratories on the system. They were introduced to improve road safety. The final filter in turn is located at the end of Victoria Avenue. Traffic in both lanes where the dual carriageway reduces to a single carriageway must take it in turns to merge into the new lane in conditions of heavy traffic. The ...
