Turks and Caicos Priority Signs
Indicate right of way at junctions
7 signs in this category
Priority signs establish who has the right of way at Turks and Caicos 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.
Give way
An inverted white triangle with a red surround and the words GIVE WAY. Slow down and be ready to stop: traffic on the road you are joining has priority. Move off only when you can do so without making anyone brake or swerve.
Give way 50 yards ahead
The give way triangle with a plate reading GIVE WAY 50 YDS. A give way line is 50 yards ahead: reduce speed now so you can stop at it if the major road is not clear.
Halt at major road ahead
A T-shaped white plate with the words HALT AT MAJOR ROAD AHEAD. You are approaching a major road: come to a complete stop at the junction and do not move off until the major road is clear in both directions.
Priority over vehicles from the opposite direction
A blue rectangular plate with a white arrow pointing up and a red arrow pointing down. You have priority through the narrow section ahead, but still watch for oncoming drivers who may not have stopped.
Priority to vehicles from the opposite direction
A white disc with a red surround, a red arrow pointing up and a larger black arrow pointing down. Oncoming traffic has priority through the narrow section ahead: wait until it is clear before you proceed.
Stop and give way
A white circle with a red surround and an inverted triangle carrying the word STOP. Stop completely at the line, then give way to all traffic on the road you are joining before moving off.
Stop (octagonal sign)
The red octagon with the word STOP, found on many older and privately installed signs in Turks and Caicos. It has the same meaning as the prescribed circular stop sign: stop completely and give way before moving off.
