Category : Priority signs
B1 - Yield. White triangle with red border, point facing downward. At the intersection, you must give way to all drivers traveling on the road you are crossing. Slow down sufficiently in advance; you are not required to stop if the road is clear, but you must be ready to yield the right of way.
What to know about this type of sign
Priority is one of the most watched driving topics online and one of the main reasons candidates fail the Belgian theory exam. The basic rule is priority to the right, but it gives way to a strict order: police officer, traffic lights, signs, then special rules for trams, emergency vehicles and manoeuvres.
- A strict order Authorised officer, then lights, then signs, then priority to the right: always in that order.
- Whoever manoeuvres gives way Leaving a car park, making a U-turn or reversing: you lose all priority.
- Frequent special cases Trams, emergency vehicles, zip merging: the exam loves them.
