About Shark's teeth: give way, not a stop requirement: which statement is WRONG?
- ✓ Shark's teeth only apply if a sign B6 also stands next to them; without a sign the marking is not binding.
- If shark's teeth and signs are absent, the main rule automatically applies: priority to drivers from the right.
- Shark's teeth mean: give way, not a stop requirement.
- B6 means 'give way', just like shark's teeth.
Correct answer: Shark's teeth only apply if a sign B6 also stands next to them; without a sign the marking is not binding.
Explanation
Shark's teeth are themselves a traffic sign and are binding, even without a sign next to them. The legal duty is directly in the marking
Why learners get this wrong
- If shark's teeth and signs are absent, the main rule automatically applies: priority to drivers from the right. No sign never means 'no rule'
- Shark's teeth mean: give way, not a stop requirement. A full stop is only mandatory where sign B7 explicitly requires it, at the stop line
- B6 means 'give way', just like shark's teeth. B7 adds an explicit stop requirement on top: 'stop; give way'. B7 is therefore stricter than B6
