What the Sharp junction ahead sign means
A side road meets your road ahead at a sharp, narrow angle on the left, so it can be hard to see traffic on it.
What you must do
Slow down and look carefully to the left. Because the angle is sharp, your view into the side road is limited, so check early and be ready to give way.
