Course of forkjørsveg
The supplementary sign shows a schematic image of the junction, where a thick line indicates forkjørsveg and a thin line indicates a road where signs 202 “vikeplikt” or 204 “Stop” have been erected.
When you see the sign
Read the diagram before entering the intersection: The thick line shows the route of the priority road, while the thin lines show adjoining roads. Adjust your speed and road position, and use your turn signal if you are going to change direction at the intersection.
Rules
- The thick line in the diagram represents the priority road.
- The thin lines represent roads that join the priority road.
- The supplementary plate must be interpreted together with the main sign above it; it does not establish right of way on its own.
- If you are following the priority road and changing direction at the same time, you must signal clearly with your turn signal.
Tips
- Look for which line your own approach continues into, and do not assume that the road straight ahead is the priority road.
- Reduce your speed early enough to interpret both the main sign and the diagram.
- Watch for vehicles from all approaches to the intersection, even if you have priority; others may misunderstand the road layout.
Common misconceptions
- Thinking that the thick line shows the physically widest road rather than the priority road.
- Assuming that the priority road always continues straight ahead.
- Thinking that you do not need to use your turn signal when the priority road bends.
Test yourself
Easy
What does this supplementary plate mean?
- AIt shows the distance to the place where the main sign applies.
- BIt shows how long the road section is for which the main sign applies.
- CIt shows the periods during which the main sign applies.
- DIt shows how the forkjørsveg runs through the intersection.
Medium
The wide line turns at the intersection, while a narrow line continues straight ahead. You are going to follow the forkjørsveg. What do you do?
- ADrive straight ahead without signaling because this road continues straight.
- BStop before the intersection and wait because the supplementary plate alone imposes vikeplikt.
- CFollow the wide line and clearly signal when you change direction.
- DFollow the narrow line and signal only if the road is wider.
Hard
What is correct about the effect of this supplementary plate when it is displayed below a main sign?
- AIt establishes vikeplikt at the intersection independently of the main sign.
- BIt indicates the extent of the main sign along the physically widest road.
- CIt indicates the distance to the intersection and applies independently of the main sign.
- DIt shows the route of the road and must be interpreted together with the main sign.
Theory test tip
A common trap is to choose the road that goes straight ahead. In the theory test, you must follow the thick line to identify the actual route of the priority road.
Did you know
The diagram is adapted to the particular intersection and may show that the priority road bends to the right or left, even though another road continues straight ahead.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have priority if my road is shown by a thick line?
The thick line shows that the road is the priority road through the intersection. However, you must still interpret the supplementary plate together with the main sign and drive carefully.
Do I need to use my turn signal when following the thick line around a bend?
Yes, if this means that you are turning or otherwise changing direction at the intersection. Having priority does not exempt you from the duty to signal.
Do the thin lines show roads that have to give way?
They show roads that join the priority road. The give-way requirement is regulated by the signs at the intersection, so the supplementary plate must be considered together with the main sign.
