1. Junction layout
A junction layout is a schematic representation of the layout of an upcoming intersection or junction. It can show how roads branch, cross or continue and may help drivers understand which direction to follow before reaching the intersection.
Crossroad-shape diagrams are commonly used on advance direction signs. Depending on the country's sign system, the diagram may also distinguish the main road, side roads, route numbers or destinations.
What can a junction-layout diagram tell you in Hungary?
A junction diagram can show the roads joining and the course of the priority road. On the supplementary priority-route panel, the thick line shows the priority road, including where it turns. Read that panel with the main-road, give-way or stop sign; a destination diagram has a different purpose.

Does a junction-layout picture itself give priority at a junction in Hungary?
Not by itself. Priority comes from the applicable signs, signals, road markings and traffic rules. Where a layout panel accompanies a priority sign, read the two together; do not infer a right of way solely from the geometry shown.

Should the drawing be treated as an exact map of the junction in Hungary?
No. A schematic diagram can omit islands, turning lanes, cycle facilities and minor road details. Slow down, check the actual road layout, and follow lane arrows, signs and signals when you reach the intersection.
