Give way signs on both sides: the right turner waits
When both approaches have give way signs, the car turning right waits for the oncoming car going straight.

What it means
Give way signs on both sides: the right turner waits: what is the rule?
A side road crosses a main road, and each half of it has a red and white GIVE WAY triangle and a broken give way line. The plate-yellow car, coming from the bottom, wants to turn right along its yellow path. A white car facing it from the top is heading straight down. Because the signs treat you both alike, the usual turning rule applies between you: the right turning driver waits.
What to do
1
Slow at the give way line and let traffic on the main road pass.
2
Let the oncoming car crossing straight over go before you turn.
3
Turn right only once both the main road and the oncoming path are clear.
A practice question with this scene
You and the car facing you both have give way signs at a crossroad. You want to turn right and the other car is going straight. Who must give way?
Right.Not quite. The answer is C.
Both drivers face the same kind of sign, so the turning rule applies between you: the right turning driver waits for the oncoming car going straight.

Common questions
Who goes first when both cars have give way signs and one turns right?
The car going straight. The driver turning right gives way to it, just as at an intersection with no signs.
Do I have to stop at a give way sign?
No, not unless traffic makes you. Slow down and keep rolling if the way is clear.
