Road junctions

There are a number of grades of priority junction throughout the borough. Some junctions in residential areas may have no form of priority road marking. However, wherever possible, these are being marked under ongoing maintenance and upgrading programmes to show which arm of the junction should give way.

Other junctions may have a 'give way' line, 'give way line and triangle marking', 'give way line, a triangle marking and a give way sign'.

Some junctions may have a 'stop' sign and marking. These are used infrequently, in order to ensure that they have more impact on motorists. There are strict criteria, relating to visibility distances of approaching traffic, which must be met before 'Stop' signs can be introduced.
