Where:
Found on any public road before the point where the road you are travelling on divides sharply into two separate roads.
This sign is usually placed in advance to give you time to prepare for the upcoming split.
It is often seen on rural or suburban roads where one main route branches off into two directions.


Purpose:
To warn that the road ahead will soon divide into two separate routes, and you will need to decide which direction to take.
The division is usually at a sharp angle, meaning that turning may require a greater degree of steering control and lower speed.
The sign alerts drivers to make their choice early to avoid last-minute lane changes or sudden turns. This warning also indicates that other vehicles might slow down or change lanes unexpectedly as they prepare to take their chosen road.


Action:
Reduce your speed as you approach the junction.
Decide in good time which road or direction you will follow.
Position your vehicle correctly in the appropriate lane or side of the road for your intended route.
When turning into the right-hand side road, watch for oncoming traffic whose path you may cross.
Do not overtake near or at the junction.
Always maintain full control of your vehicle when steering through the split.
