 At priority junctions, roads that have tramways, either segregated or within the carriageway, should always be treated as the major road. Where the minor road would normally be provided with an upright GIVE WAY sign as well as the Give Way road markings (see para 3.15), this should be replaced with a STOP sign and transverse Stop line, whether or not the visibility criteria in table 3-1 are met. The STOP sign should be used with a supplementary plate to diagram 778.1. This will require a special direction in addition to the Department's approval for the STOP sign, as this sign combination is not prescribed by the Regulations. At all other junctions with a road carrying a tramway, the minor road should have the transverse Give Way line, the triangular marking and a GIVE WAY sign.

Junctions with heavy traffic flows or restricted visibility (including those which would normally be signed with the STOP sign) should be controlled by traffic signals where there is a tramway.
