Traffic rules
Colombia
1. Give way
A give-way sign requires drivers to allow traffic with priority to proceed before entering, crossing or joining a road. Drivers must reduce speed, observe approaching traffic and stop when necessary.
Unlike a stop sign, a give-way sign does not always require a complete stop. The driver may continue without stopping only when the route is clearly safe and no road user with priority is forced to change speed or direction.
What does giving way mean in Colombia?
Yield to the road users entitled to pass under the actual signs and priority rules. Article 66 requires a complete stop when arriving at a junction on a road without priority; do not assume a generic rule from another country removes that duty. A PARE control also requires a full stop.

Must you always stop when giving way in Colombia?
A complete stop is required where Article 66 applies: a driver arriving at a junction on a road without priority must stop completely. A PARE sign also requires a full stop. Obey the applicable signs and give way before proceeding safely.
What should you check before proceeding after giving way in Colombia?
Wait until the manoeuvre is safe. Check the priority traffic, the view in both directions and enough space to complete the entry. Giving way to one vehicle does not remove duties towards another driver, a cyclist or a pedestrian.
