Priority signs

They set special priority rules at junctions and narrow sections.

How to recognise them: The shape varies with the sign: an inverted triangle, a red octagon or a diamond, according to the rule it imposes.

6 signs

R-1
R-1 · Give way
Give way at the next junction to vehicles already on the road you are joining, or in the lane you want to move into. You only have to stop if it is necessary to let them pass.
R-2
R-2 · Stop
Stop completely at the stop line, or immediately before the junction if there is no line, then give way to traffic on the road you are joining. If you still cannot see well enough from where you stopped, stop again where you can see, without endangering anyone.
R-3
R-3 · Priority road
Tells you that your road has priority at junctions over traffic on, or coming from, the crossing road.
R-4
R-4 · End of priority
Your road is about to lose the priority it had over the crossing road.
R-5
R-5 · Give way to oncoming traffic
Do not enter the narrow section unless you can get through without forcing oncoming vehicles to stop.
R-6
R-6 · Priority over oncoming traffic
At the narrow section ahead you have priority over vehicles coming the other way.
