T-Intersection Ahead
warning sign · diamond · yellow
Your road ends ahead at a crossroad. You must turn left or right — and yield to traffic on the through road.
- Visual breakdown
- Yellow diamond with a T shape: the vertical stem is your road, ending at the horizontal bar.
- Shape recognition
- The stem stops at the bar — your road is the one that terminates.
- Color recognition
- Yellow advance warning; typically backed up by a yield/stop where the road actually ends.
- Memory trick
- T = Terminate. Your road is done; pick a direction and yield to the road that isn't.
- Real-world example
- At night, a missed T-intersection means headlights plowing straight into the far ditch — this sign is why high beams matter on unfamiliar roads.
- Common mistakes
- Reading it as 'a road joins mine' (that's the side-road sign). Here the through traffic has the right of way, not you.
- Quick recall method
- Your road ends at the bar of the T — turn and yield.
