In most instances they illustrate the principal through route at the junction by varying the widths of the road symbol arms. The signs are not intended to be true maps of the junction, but the sign selected should be reasonably representative of the layout. Signs W 015 to W 018 are available for use on the minor road approaches to junctions with single carriageway roads. Traffic on the side roads will normally be controlled by Stop or Yield signs (RUS 027 or RUS 026) or markings. Where it is necessary to provide advance warning of the Stop or Yield, Signs W 040 or W 041 should normally be erected. However, where visibility is poor, or the Road Authority considers that a particular hazard exists, the appropriate one of Signs W 015 to W 018 should also be provided to warn of the hidden junction.
