In Australia, a “Give Way” sign tells drivers to give priority to other traffic.
The sign is typically an inverted triangle with a red border and a white center, and it is used where drivers must slow down and yield when another road user has priority. Unlike a stop sign, it does not normally require a complete stop if the way is clear and stopping is unnecessary.
Australian road signs use English wording, and “Give Way” is the standard phrase rather than “Yield,” which is used in countries such as the United States and Canada. The same instruction may also be reinforced by a painted give-way line or triangular road marking.
Drivers must still approach cautiously, because traffic may be approaching from several directions or may be difficult to see. A give-way sign establishes priority at that junction; it does not mean that the driver can enter without checking for pedestrians, cyclists, or vehicles.
