Near Alphen aan den Rijn you approach a junction with a triangular give-way sign pointing downwards; there is no stop line. The crossing road is clear. Is it correct that you may drive on here without stopping completely first?

Explanation

False — you mix up the give-way sign and the stop sign. The triangular sign means the same as shark's teeth: give way, without a compulsory stop. Only the stop sign requires a full stop.
