Malta Priority Signs
Indicate right of way at junctions
5 signs in this category
Priority signs establish who has the right of way at Malta junctions, narrow sections and crossings. They prevent conflicts by making clear which driver must give way.
Study tip: Learn the difference between 'priority road', 'give way' and 'stop'. The theory test frequently tests give-way scenarios at roundabouts and junctions.
End of Priority Road
The priority road ends here. From this point you no longer have automatic right of way at junctions, so watch the signs at each one and be ready to give way.
Give Way
You must give way to traffic on the road you are joining. Slow down on the approach, stop at the broken line if needed, and pull out only into a safe gap.
Give Way to Oncoming Vehicles
Where the road narrows ahead, traffic coming the other way has priority; the red arrow is your direction. Wait before the narrow section until the oncoming vehicles have cleared it.
Priority Over Oncoming Vehicles
Where the road narrows ahead, you have priority over traffic coming the other way; the large white arrow is your direction. Check that oncoming drivers really are waiting before you commit.
Priority Road
You are on a priority road: traffic joining from side roads must give way to you until an end-of-priority sign. Stay alert all the same for drivers who miss theirs.
