# Junction on a bend to the right — UK road sign

This warning sign alerts drivers that a side road joins the carriageway on a right-hand curve.

The junction on a bend to the right sign warns of a side road intersecting the main carriageway during a right-hand turn.

This layout requires extra caution because vehicles turning right out of the side road must cross main road traffic lanes on a curve.

## What this sign means

The sign warns drivers of a side road intersecting the main route on an upcoming right-hand bend.

- Red warning triangle frame
- Black rightward curving arrow intersecting a side road branch
- Warns of unexpected emerging vehicles on curves

## What to do when you see it

Check your mirrors, reduce speed before the curve, and scan for vehicles approaching from the side junction.

- Maintain proper position within your lane
- Be ready for slow vehicles emerging across your path
- Do not overtake approaching or through the junction

## How this sign is tested

Questions in the theory exam test hazard awareness, stopping distances, and mirror checks before speed adjustments.

## Common mistakes

Cutting the corner on right bends, which cuts into the path of emerging vehicles from the side road.

## Test yourself on this one

## Frequently asked questions

Who has right of way at this junction?

Drivers already on the main curving road have priority over traffic joining from the side road.

Why are right-bend junctions dangerous for emerging drivers?

Approaching main-road vehicles can be hidden behind sight obstacles on the inside curve.

How should I adjust my driving in bad weather here?

Double your stopping distance on wet roads and reduce cornering speed significantly.

Your theory certificate lasts two years. Most learners who use it quickly do it with an intensive course — a block of hours with a DVSA approved instructor and a practical test at the end, instead of one lesson a week for months.
