How to recognise the skewed t-junction sign
A triangle showing the mirror image of an angled T-junction.
Where you will see it
On any road before an angled T-junction.
What to do when you see it, step by step
- Slow down, check for cross-traffic and prepare to turn at the angle shown.
The common mistake
An angled junction has a wide approach and a sharp exit, so take the turn slower than you expect.
Why this sign matters
An angled junction makes it hard to see cross-traffic. The sign exists so that you approach with enough time to look properly.
