This road sign means:

The road ends ahead.
A road joins from the right.
“Y” intersection ahead.
A four-way intersection is ahead.
Explanation

This yellow, diamond-shaped sign means "Y-Intersection Ahead". It alerts drivers that the road will soon split into two separate directions, requiring them to choose either the left or right fork. Unlike a standard intersection, a Y-intersection does not allow drivers to continue straight - they must prepare to bear in one direction.
To safely navigate a Y-Intersection:
- Reduce speed early. Slow down as you approach to assess traffic and select your intended path.
- Check mirrors and blind spots. Watch for merging vehicles from either side and signal in advance.
- Maintain proper lane position. Stay in the correct lane well before the division to avoid last-minute corrections.
