Near Vlissingen you approach a junction. There are shark's teeth on your road, but there is no sign nearby. Is it correct that the shark's teeth then do not apply here?

False — you see the shark's teeth as a picture belonging to a sign. Shark's teeth are a traffic sign in themselves and apply without a sign too: you give way to traffic on the crossing road.
