The sign to diagram 501, together with a plate to diagram 502 or 503 showing the appropriate distance, should be used where the clear visibility GIVE WAY sign is less than the distance given in table 2-1. The sign may also be accompanied by the word SLOW (diagram 1024) marked on the carriageway. Where the Junction is With a dual carriageway road, a plate to diagram 608 may be added below the STOP or GIVE WAY plate (see also paras 5.15 to 5.17). Where there is a gap in the central reservation 502 Distance to a STOP line and a right turn is permitted, this should reduce the risk of drivers turning into the wrong carriageway. See Chapter 3 for further guidance on the STOP and GIVE WAY signs, and Chapter 5 for road markings at distance (see paras 1.22 and 1.23) to the STOP or junctions.
