Where you see itWhere your road dead-ends into another

What it means

Your road ends ahead at a road running left and right. You must turn one way or the other; straight is not an option.

What you should do

Slow down and decide your turn early. Expect a stop or yield where the roads meet, and look both ways along the cross street.

Memory trick

The T is the road’s way of saying "choose left or right, but choose."

The mistake drivers make

Arriving too fast at night. The headlights show empty field where the road should continue, and the fence line arrives quickly.
