End of forkjørsveg
The sign indicates that forkjørsveg ends.
When you see the sign
Be aware that the road is no longer a priority road from the sign onwards. Adjust your speed and determine which right-of-way rules apply at upcoming junctions. The sign itself does not require you to stop or give way where it is posted.
Rules
- The sign cancels the priority-road status indicated by sign 206 «Forkjørsveg».
- The sign itself does not impose a duty to give way or stop.
- At subsequent junctions, follow traffic lights and give-way signs if present.
- If a later junction is not regulated by signs or traffic lights, the right-hand rule normally applies, meaning that you must give way to vehicles approaching from the right.
Tips
- Look ahead for signs, traffic lights and traffic from side roads at the next junctions.
- Reduce your speed if necessary so that you can comply with any applicable give-way rule at the first unregulated junction.
- Do not brake sharply at the sign itself; assess the traffic situation and adjust your speed in a controlled manner.
- Remember the diagonal line across the yellow diamond symbol: it shows that the priority road ends.
Common misconceptions
- Assuming that the sign means you must always give way at the very next junction. The give-way rule is determined by signs, traffic lights or the ordinary right-of-way rules.
- Confusing the sign with «Vikeplikt» and therefore stopping or giving way at the sign itself.
- Continuing as if traffic on side roads still always has to give way, even though the priority-road status has been cancelled.

Easy
What does this sign mean?
- AThe forkjørsveg status ends.
- BYou must come to a complete stop at the sign.
- CYou have vikeplikt at the next intersection.
- DOncoming traffic has vikeplikt for you.
Medium
After passing this sign, you come to an ordinary intersection without traffic lights or a give-way sign. A car is approaching from the right. What do you do?
- AYou go first because you came from a forkjørsveg.
- BYou always come to a complete stop before entering the intersection.
- CYou go first because traffic from side roads always has vikeplikt.
- DYou give way to the car according to the right-hand rule.
Hard
After passing this sign, you come to an intersection with functioning traffic lights. You are going straight ahead and have a green light. How do you drive?
- AYou treat the intersection as unregulated and follow the right-hand rule.
- BYou stop at the sign before proceeding through on green.
- CYou give way to all traffic from the side road even though you have a green light.
- DYou proceed through on green when conditions otherwise permit it.
Theory test tip
A common trap is to interpret the sign as a direct give-way sign. In the theory test, remember that the sign only ends the priority road; the applicable give-way rule further on must be determined from other signs, traffic lights or the right-hand rule.
Did you know
The sign uses the same distinctive yellow diamond symbol as sign 206 «Forkjørsveg», but has a diagonal black line marking the end of the priority-road status.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to stop at the sign?
No, the sign does not require you to stop. However, you must adjust your speed and be prepared for changed right-of-way conditions further on.
Do I automatically have to give way at the next junction?
No, not automatically. Follow signs or traffic lights, and normally use the right-hand rule if the junction is unregulated.
What is the difference between this sign and «Vikeplikt»?
This sign ends the priority-road status but does not impose a duty to give way at that location. Sign 202 «Vikeplikt» requires you to give way to traffic travelling in both directions on the intersecting road.
What is the difference between this sign and «Forkjørskryss»?
This sign cancels a priority road. Sign 210 «Forkjørskryss», on the other hand, warns of a dangerous junction where traffic from a side road or intersecting road is required to give way.
