What is the name of the Australian road sign that requires drivers to give way?

The Australian road sign that requires drivers to give way is the Give Way sign.

It is an inverted triangle with a red border and a white interior, normally accompanied by the words “GIVE WAY.” Drivers approaching it must yield to traffic that has priority and proceed only when it is safe. The sign is used at intersections and other locations where a driver must not assume priority.

Australia's wording differs from the “Yield” wording familiar in the United States and several other countries, but the basic traffic rule is similar. A Give Way sign is not simply advice: it establishes a legal obligation under Australian road rules.

The inverted triangle is designed to remain recognizable even if the face is dirty or partly obscured. This makes it visually distinct from the octagonal Stop sign, which requires a complete stop before proceeding.
