Traffic rules
Ukraine
1. Priority over oncoming traffic
Priority over oncoming traffic means that drivers travelling in one direction have priority through a narrow section of road over drivers approaching from the opposite direction. The rule is normally indicated by a priority sign facing one direction and a corresponding give-way sign facing the other.
Drivers with priority must still approach cautiously and must not force their way through when the passage is blocked or already occupied. The signs regulate priority through the narrow section, not speed, parking or priority at nearby intersections.
How is priority over oncoming traffic controlled in Ukraine?
Ukraine’s Перевага перед зустрічним рухом gives priority over opposing traffic through the narrow section. The opposite give-way control and any traffic signals must also be respected.
Can you enter an occupied narrow passage when you have priority in Ukraine?
Do not force a conflict. Check the full available width and let a vehicle already committed to the passage clear it when both vehicles cannot pass safely. A priority control does not permit creating danger or disregarding a red signal or authorised instruction.
Does priority through a narrow passage extend to nearby junctions in Ukraine?
No. A control releasing your direction or giving priority over opposing traffic concerns that passage. Junction priority, speed limits, crossings and any later restriction must be assessed separately from their own signs and rules.
Road narrowing, oncoming drivers have to give way.
English • Traffic sign 2.6 • Priority over oncoming traffic. You have priority on the narrow section.
