Give Way to Oncoming Vehicles Sign
The give way to oncoming traffic sign is an instructional signboard telling drivers to yield and let the drivers coming from the opposite direction the way to go first.
Often used in places where the road is narrow, and only one vehicle can pass at a time, the sign is recognisable with two arrows (red and black) going in opposite directions.
The give priority to oncoming traffic sign is used to indicate that vehicles approaching from the opposite direction have priority. In the UK, this sign is represented by Diagram 615 under the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD).
At Foamex Printing Company, we design and deliver regulation-ready give way to oncoming vehicles sign ensuring the traffic flow is smooth and unobstructed.
