There is, sadly, little understanding of these important
distinctions. I reckon the most misunderstood pair of signs are
"Oncoming vehicles have priority" and "You have priority over
oncoming vehicles", especially amongst workers deploying signs
around road works.


Agreed. It's a confusing sign because it mixes colour and size in the
arrows. It would have been far clearer if they had stuck to monochrome.
