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:
“The United States is unusual among the industrial democracies in the rigidity of the system of ideological control—”indoctrination” we might say—exercised through the mass media.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“O thou undaunted daughter of desires!
By all thy dower of lights and fires;
By all the eagle in thee, all the dove;
By all thy lives and deaths of love;
By thy large draughts of intellectual day,
And by thy thirsts of love more large then they;
By all thy brim-fill’d Bowls of fierce desire,
By thy last Morning’s draught of liquid fire;
By the full kingdom of that final kiss
That seiz’d thy parting Soul, and seal’d thee his;”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
