The road sign indicates that you have a duty to give way to vehicles on the intersecting road or route. At junctions with this road sign it is very important that you clearly communicate your intention to give way by slowing down well in advance, and if necessary, stopping completely. You may only proceed when you can do so without endangering or obstructing other road users. When you have a duty to give way you do not need to stop if there is not any traffic on the intersecting road. When you have a duty to stop, however, you must stop completely and give way before proceeding – regardless of whether there is any traffic on the intersecting road or not. Note that both police officers' signals and traffic signals apply before road signs. If you approach a junction and a police officer signals for you to continue, you must follow the officer's signal, even if the traffic light is red or there is a stop sign. You must still drive carefully and pay attention to other traffic.

B2-1Priority Signs

Duty to stop

If the road sign "Stop" is posted before a junction, you must stop completely and give way before proceeding. This applies regardless of whether there is any traffic on the intersecting road or not. The rules are designed in this way to ensure that drivers who have a duty to stop really do so and check traffic both ways before proceeding When you have a duty to stop, you should do so at the stop line or, if there is no line, just before, but not on, the intersecting road – where you can be clearly seen and have a clear view. You may only proceed when you can do so without endangering or obstructing other road users. Note that both police officers' signals and traffic signals apply before road signs. If you approach a junction and a police officer signals for you to continue, you must follow the officer's signal, even if the traffic light is red or there is a stop sign.

Priority road

Swedish name: Huvudled

The road sign indicates that the road is a priority road. A priority road is a road whose users are to be given priority by those on connecting and intersecting roads.

The road sign is placed where the priority road begins and is repeated after each junction, unless it is already clear that the priority road continues. The priority road normally ends at a junction where give way or stop applies towards crossing traffic, but it can also end between junctions – in that case, the cancellation sign "End of priority road" is used. The priority road also ends where a motorway or clearway begins. There is a general parking prohibition on priority roads, which means that you are only allowed to park in marked parking spaces. There is, however, no general stopping prohibition on priority roads, which means that you are allowed to stop to load or unload goods, to allow a passenger to get in or out of the car, to avoid danger (for example, if an animals runs across the road) or if traffic conditions so require (for example, if there is a traffic jam).

B5-1Priority Signs

End of priority road

Swedish name: Huvudled upphör

The road sign indicates that the priority road ends. When the priority road ends, the priority to the right rule applies at upcoming junctions, unless otherwise indicated by another road sign or traffic signal. This sign is mainly used when the priority road ends between junctions, or in situations where there may be uncertainty about which traffic rules apply. If the priority road ends at a junction where you already have a duty to give way or stop, the sign does not need to be placed. After passing the sign, you should no longer assume you have the right of way and must be prepared to give way to traffic coming from the right, unless otherwise indicated.
