What do you do when you see this traffic sign?

This traffic sign indicates a situation where there is a narrowing of the road, with right of way rules in place for oncoming traffic.

1. You may only take precedence when the narrowing is clear: This means you can assert your right of way if you can see that the road ahead is free enough for you to proceed without risking a collision.

2. You must be ready to stop despite taking precedence: This emphasizes the need for caution. Even if you have the right of way, you must be prepared to yield if the situation requires it, particularly if the oncoming traffic is closer or speeding.

The combination of these rules is critical for ensuring safety in scenarios where vehicles must navigate through a constrained road space. It reinforces the idea that having precedence does not eliminate the responsibility to drive safely and responsibly.
