What it means
The roadway ahead narrows. You MUST yield to traffic approaching from the opposite direction before proceeding through the narrow section.
What to do
- The narrowing or obstruction is shared: oncoming traffic that is already in the gap has priority.
- Pull in or wait before the pinch so you are not stuck head-on.
- Use a flash or gap invitation only as a signal, not as pressure to rush.
In the K53 test
Classic test trap: you must yield to oncoming already in the lane, not “who got there first” in a race.
Where you will see it
At the entrance to a single carriageway used by traffic from both directions.
