How to recognise the skewed t-junction sign
A triangle showing a T-junction whose cross-road meets yours at an angle (one of a left/right pair).
Where you will see it
On any road before an angled T-junction.
What to do when you see it, step by step
- Look for cross-traffic, slow down and be ready to stop.
- The angle can hide vehicles from view.
The common mistake
W105 and W106 are the two angles. Read which way the cross-road leans.
About warning signs
Warning signs tell you about a hazard ahead so you can slow down and prepare. They are red-bordered triangles. The K53 learner's test asks you to recognise signs like the skewed t-junction sign (W105) and choose the correct response, so learn both the picture and the action.

- Recall what the sign asks of you: slow down and look carefully in both directions before turning.
- Remove the options that describe a different group of sign, then choose the response that matches the action.
