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 019 to W 022 are available for use on the minor road approaches to junctions with dual carriageways. These signs should normally be provided at all such junctions, even though there will be Stop or Yield signs, as they indicate the presence of a divided carriageway. Where signs W 040 or W 041 are provided to give advance warning of the junction (see Section 6.4), the Stop or Yield Ahead sign shall be mounted above the Dual Carriageway Ahead sign.
