Priority road

Priority signsSign no. 3.03OSR art. 37

What the sign says

Yellow diamond: you are on the priority road, and vehicles emerging from side roads must give way to you.

The exam trap

Priority does not excuse you from care, and it does not extend to manoeuvres: turning left off the priority road, you give way to oncoming traffic.

Do not confuse

The signs are the official depictions by the Federal Roads Office, from the annexes of the Signalling Ordinance (SR 741.21): official works, unprotected under Art. 5 of the Copyright Act. The explanations, by contrast, are written from federal law — never taken from a third-party catalogue.
