This sign is placed at a T-junction. It means the road you are on ends, and you must turn either right or left to continue.
If you miss your exit on a highway, you should:
Reverse carefully on the shoulder.
Stop and wait for a gap.
Continue to the next exit.

When approaching a hill with limited visibility, you should:
Pass slower vehicles before the top.
Drive near the centre line.
Accelerate over the hill quickly.
Stay right and reduce speed.
When visibility is limited on a hill, staying to the right and slowing down protects you from oncoming vehicles that may be over the centre line.
At an uncontrolled intersection, another vehicle arrives before you. You should:
Speed up to cross first.
Proceed as there are no signs.
Honk and then proceed.
Yield to the other vehicle.
Even at uncontrolled intersections, the vehicle that arrives first has the right-of-way and you must yield to them.

Move over slowly.
Remain in your lane until safe.
Accelerate quickly to merge.
Expect the other driver to slow down.
Even after signaling, you must stay in your lane if someone is in your blind spot. Wait for a safe gap before moving.

If visibility is limited while driving at night, you should:
Drive faster to reach soon.
Reduce speed and scan the road.
Follow the vehicle ahead closely.

Reduced visibility at night makes it harder to see hazards, so drivers should slow down and scan the road carefully.
When parking downhill with a curb, your front wheels should be turned:

Why should you increase your following distance in winter conditions?
