United Kingdom
By contrast, the United Kingdom's Road Traffic Act calls for give way signs and road markings far more often at junctions (intersections) where stop signs would be used in the US. The road marking accompanying the sign consists of a large inverted triangle painted just before the place to give way.
In Wales, the signs bear bilingual legends; the Welsh ildiwch appears above give way.
In the United Kingdom, a stop or give-way sign may be preceded by an inverted, blank, triangular sign with an advisory placard such as give way 100 yards. In most other parts of Europe, the sign at the intersection itself is also blank.

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“It is a united will, not mere walls, which makes a fort.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
