Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

This is the R-5 (Priority for oncoming traffic) sign. Being a circular sign with a red border, it indicates a prohibition. The key is in the colors: the red arrow points in your direction of travel, meaning you do not have priority and must yield to oncoming vehicles, especially in narrow sections where simultaneous passing is not possible. Do not confuse this with sign R-6 (square and blue), which would give you priority, nor with sign P-25 (triangular), which simply warns of two-way traffic.
