Advance warning of STOP at the shown distance

Advance warning of STOP at the shown distance

Purpose and student action

Establish who must wait. Priority never permits creating a collision; check approaching road users.

Read · decide · act

  1. Read the exact sign: give way, STOP, priority road or narrow-passage priority are different.
  2. Scan both sides, pedestrians, cycles and rail vehicles before entering.
  3. Enter only when you can clear the junction; priority is not permission to force a collision.

Why this matters

B7 announces a STOP farther ahead at the displayed distance. Prepare to stop at the actual STOP/stop line; the advance warning is not itself the final stopping point.

Article 67

Published legal wording (French/Dutch)

B7. Signal annonçant le signal B5 à la distance approximativement indiquée.

B7. Verkeersbord dat het verkeersbord B5 aankondigt op de bij benadering aangeduide afstand.
