Shape and colour

Triangle pointing down with a red rim: the only inverted triangle — give priority, you need not stop.

Where the sign stands

On the side road just before the priority road, on the right, usually above the shark's teeth; at a roundabout on every entry.

What the exam asks about this sign

The exam almost always asks whether you must stop: no, you must give way to all drivers on the crossing road, cyclists included, but you only stop when someone is approaching. The difference with B7 (stop) is the core question. Second trap: B6 says nothing about pedestrians crossing — for them the zebra and turning rules apply.
