What it means
Stopped at a stop sign, give way to all three cars: what is the rule?
The plate-yellow car is stopped at a STOP sign and stop line, signalling to turn right. White cars approach on the through road from the left and the right, and a third white car facing it waits at its own stop sign to go straight ahead. The yellow path curves right through the middle. Everyone else here goes first: the cross traffic because of your sign, the oncoming car because you turn across it.
What to do
1
Stop completely at the line, even on an empty country road.
2
Give way to cars from both sides on the road you are crossing.
3
Let the oncoming car go straight through before you make your right turn.
