Sign B6: give way, no obligation to stop

Sign B6 (inverted triangle) means: give way to drivers on the crossing road. You need not stop when the road is clear; the obligation to stop belongs to sign B7, the octagonal STOP sign.

How the exam asks it

About Unequal-rank junction: B6, B7 and the priority road: which statement is WRONG?

  1. Sign B1 applies 'until sign B2 indicates the end of the priority road'.
  2. Sign B6 means you are required to come to a full stop before the junction.
  3. At a junction of an unpaved road with a paved road, the driver on the unpaved road gives way to the one on the paved road, even if that is a horse rider.
  4. At a junction of an unpaved and a paved road, the driver on the unpaved road gives way to the road user on the paved road, even if that is a horse rider.
Show the answer

Correct answer: Sign B6 means you are required to come to a full stop before the junction.

'If you are required to stop, the sign is not B6 but B7.' B6 = give way to crossing traffic without a mandatory full stop; only B7 forces a stop

Why learners get this wrong: Once you have passed sign B1 (start of the priority road), you keep priority at every following junction until the end of your journey.

Open this question

On a polder road near Stavoren you are driving on an unpaved track and approach a paved road with no sign at all. A horse rider is coming from your left on the paved road. What applies?

  1. You give way to the rider, even though it is not a car
  2. You go first, because you reach the junction sooner
Show the answer

Correct answer: You give way to the rider, even though it is not a car

Unpaved gives way to paved, even to a rider

Why learners get this wrong: At a junction of an unpaved road with a paved road, the driver on the unpaved road has priority, because that road is harder to drive on.

About Unequal-rank junction: B6, B7 and the priority road: which statement is correct?

  1. A horse rider does not drive a vehicle, so from an unpaved road you only have to give way to vehicles on the paved road, not to a rider.
  2. Sign B6 means you are required to come to a full stop before the junction.
  3. Sign B1 applies 'until sign B2 indicates the end of the priority road'.
  4. At a junction of an unpaved road with a paved road, the driver on the unpaved road has priority, because that road is harder to drive on.
Show the answer

Correct answer: Sign B1 applies 'until sign B2 indicates the end of the priority road'.

Sign B1 applies 'until sign B2 indicates the end of the priority road'. Priority on a priority road is therefore a bounded stretch between B1 and B2, not a permanent status

Why learners get this wrong: A horse rider does not drive a vehicle, so from an unpaved road you only have to give way to vehicles on the paved road, not to a rider.
