Oncoming Traffic Does Not Stop (Plaque)

Vehicles approaching from the opposite direction have no stop or yield control.

Used as a supplemental plaque under a STOP or YIELD assembly, this warning alerts drivers that the opposing approach is uncontrolled. Left-turning drivers in particular must wait for a clear gap because oncoming traffic will roll through the intersection without slowing. Common at offset T-intersections and unbalanced two-way stops.
