What the exam asks about this sign

The question is what this sign says about priority: nothing; it warns that a roundabout is ahead. On the roundabout itself B6 and shark's teeth settle priority; without those, traffic from the right (the entering driver) goes first. Trap: candidates think J9 is already the compulsory direction (D1).

Often confused with

• Roundabout with mandatory direction, follow the sign. D1_zb — Round blue: the compulsory direction on the roundabout itself.
• Give way to drivers on the crossing road B6 — The sign that settles priority on the approach.
• Warning for a dangerous crossroads J8 — Dangerous junction: a different kind of crossing.
