Priority at the next junctionUkraine
13. Priority at the next junction
Priority at the next junction means that drivers travelling on a particular road have priority over traffic entering from intersecting roads at the next junction. The priority arrangement is normally indicated by signs facing both the priority traffic and the traffic that must give way.
Unlike a continuing priority road, this priority applies only at the indicated intersection. Drivers must still approach cautiously and obey traffic lights, authorised officers, crossings, turning rules and other applicable signs.

How is priority at the next junction determined in Ukraine?
The sign schedule distinguishes warnings of a junction with a secondary road, including signs 1.22 and 1.23.1–1.23.4, from sign 2.3, Main Road, and sign 2.4, End of Main Road. Read the actual priority signs and any main-road course plate together with Rule 16. A destination diagram alone does not grant priority.

Does priority at one junction automatically continue along the entire road in Ukraine?
No. Check the controls at following junctions. A junction warning and a continuing main-road designation have different meanings; sign 2.4 marks the end of the latter. Traffic signals, authorised directions and the actual priority signs must still be followed.

May a driver with priority ignore pedestrians or another safety obligation at the next junction in Ukraine?
No. Junction priority does not cancel duties towards pedestrians, traffic signals, emergency vehicles or other road users where the law gives them precedence. Approach at a speed allowing you to stop safely.
