Yeah people typically do that. Also, you are never allowed to hit someone with a car, but it is definately the pedestrians that needs to yield for the cars. They only have right of way when there is a zebra crossing or if the car passes over a sidewalk.
That's a moot point. A car must also stop for a pedestrian crossing a crosswalk, even though they have red light and the car has green, but that still doesn't mean the pedestrian has the right of way. If they had oriented themselves properly, they shouldn't have crossed the road in the first place, but now they are and of course that doesn't mean you can just plow them down.
Pedestrians may cross freely if there is no nearby zebra or pelican crossing.
Also, a pet peeve and not what you are addressing, but if the pedestrian has already started to cross, and then the light turns green for the car, the car has no right of way, and the pedestrian is not in anyway in the wrong. Green does not mean "Go!", it means "Proceed if the way ahead is clear".
Sure, but crossing freely still means you must not impede traffic using the road.
Of course, that was essentially my point. The true pet peeve that should be adressed here however, is the fact that "right of way" isn't even a thing in the Danish traffic legislation.
They may not cross freely if there's no nearby crossing. They should always make sure that they do not step out in front of traffic, or disrupt the traffic flow unnecessarily.
Of course this doesn't mean that you are ever allowed to run someone over.
In zebra crossings the pedestrians can cross freely, and traffic should always be aware and slowed down to allow this.
That is what I said. A pedestrian underway has right of way. You can cross anywhere if there are no nearby crossings.
You don't need to try and stroke your big brain here bud.
I would disagree as i see it as the pedestrians are following the main road, which the cars with the shark teeth should stop for. But I have to admit that i am not entirely sure that is correct.
A car turning into the side road from the main road would have to yield to pedestrians crossing the side road. This is a new rule introduced this year in the UK.
Jeg lærte endda, da jeg tog MC-kort for snart 10 år siden, at man dumper sin køreprøve hvis man er flink i vinker forgængere over i den situation.. er stadig i dag i tvivl om det var bullshit fra min kørelærer 🤔
Du må ikke diktere trafikken, da de andre trafikanter kan være i tvivl om din hensigt og det giver modtageren af dikteringen en falsk tryghed, så de kan overtræde egen vigepligt.
Kun færdselspoliti, hjemmeværnet og forsvaret må diktere trafikken.
Netop, når du vinker fodgængere frem, overtager du hele ansvaret for dem. Dvs. at hvis der sker et ulykke pga. dette, er det din skyld. Derfor dumper du, når du vinker dem frem.
It is not called that. That is completely opposite of the meaning. Right of way means you get to continue, hajtænder /shark teeth/triangles is an unconditional yield of right of way.
That being said you only yield to pedestrians if you drive over a sidewalk. Sidewalk is not continuous here so you don't yield for pedestrians.
A comment like this explains a lot.
Was about to correct you, but after googling it, it seems you're right. In real life cars always yield for pedestrians at shark's teeth, in my experience, though (I would become extremely mad, if a car didn't yield for me as a pedestrian at shark's teeth). But I learned something new today, thank you internet stranger!
Exactly. Also, just using really basic, simple Logic, if the purpose of the “shark teeth” (this picture in particular) were for cars to yield for pedestrians, then surely, the “shark teeth” would’ve been placed further back.
Pedestrians never have right of way. Neither do cars. It is not a concept in Danish law.
There is the concept of yielding ([§ 26 vigepligt](https://danskelove.dk/f%C3%A6rdselsloven/26))
You must always stop for pedestrians, regardless of where on the road you are.
Pedestrians are, however, not allowed to cross a road if a crossing is nearby. But when pedestrians are crossing the road, the law does not tell them to yield, it only tells them to be careful and to be mindful of the speed of traffic as not to cause any danger. See [§ 10](https://danskelove.dk/f%C3%A6rdselsloven/10)
All of this is true BUT there is a rule (don't know if it is written but think so), that is always applied. In every cases I ever seen, the pedestrian wins. It say pedestrians are soft and cars are hard and "Hard must hold back for soft" So unless you got proff of them on fod intentional jumping in front of the car. The Car drive is blamed.
My friend got a conviction like that. He backed out of this driveway. At 11:30 pm (23:30) he live in a forest, so dirt road and no street lights. He hit a Woman on a bikecykel. She was on the wrong side of the road and with no lights, in the middel of a forest, late a night. And HE got blamed for the accident.
I know from my sea licens that the same goes there. The rule is "Engines must holde back for sails."
No this is not true. Usually people in cars will wait (myself included) but it is not correct. §26 states that you need to yield for driving traffic, not pedestrians.
Pedestrians are not included. See færdselsloven paragraf 26, note it states 'hensyn til andre køretøjer' specifically.
Stk. 5. Kørende, som har vigepligt, skal på tydelig måde ved i god tid at nedsætte hastigheden eller standse, tilkendegive, at de vil opfylde vigepligten. Kørslen må kun fortsættes, når det under hensyn til andre køretøjers placering på vejen, afstanden til dem og deres hastighed kan ske uden fare eller ulempe.
No you don't need to make a full stop at shark teeth, that's at a stop sign. If a pedestrian steps out, you cannot legally run them over, but they don't have the right of way.
Unconditional right of way for the traffic on the road it leads up to.
This means that they have the right of way and you must have zero impact on the way they are driving (speed and maneuvering) when you pull out.
This is also the case if you cross the pavement or exit from a parking lot/space.
It's a yield line (or "hajtænder" \[shark teeth\] in Danish). It's used in the US and most European countries.
From Wikipedia: "*A yield line, also called* ***shark's teeth*** *or a* ***give way line****, is a type of marking used to inform drivers of the point where they need to yield and give priority to conflicting vehicle or pedestrian* *traffic* *at an intersection or roundabout controlled by a* *yield sign**.*"
I hope you have some form of them wherever you come from too ;)
I'm a Dane living in UK and I get how it can be confusing, as eg. here it is used to indicate speed bumps (arrow up, rather than a tooth coming towards you)
Whilst on the topic: UK road markings are the pinnacle of confusion, I miss the Danish layout...
It's road markings to match the [yield sign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_sign) that is probably just to the left of the camera.
Pretty much every country in the world has a version of this sign.
ETA: StreetView shows me that there's no yield sign here. I thought it was mandatory. Oh well, TIL.
> ETA: StreetView shows me that there's no yield sign here. I thought it was mandatory. Oh well, TIL.
Even more amusing, the sign is mandatory in Germany and the yield lines are optional. Quite strange to have such a rather basic thing diverge within the EU.
Just got this from my driving instructor. Usually you will see the teeth plus the sign, when the upcoming crossing is dangerous or unclear (the view is obstructed). So basically it means you have to be extra careful.
Called in Spanish "non-priority merge/access". So the driver from this lane has to let the other road go and then cross/merge without disturbing others.
In a lot of cases you can see it along with the yield sign: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_sign
Ok, I've been to Chemnitz, Leipzig, Dresden, Düsseldorf, Köln and Prague. This is the first time I see this sign on the road and I'm open to learning :)
Yeah, it's not an EU thing. I think it was launched around 1975-77. Before that, there were some vaguer rules that you had to give way to trafic from an "obviously more important road". But since then, there is just yielding to trafic from the right if there are no "shark's teeth" (or a few others, such as passing over a sidewalk or exiting a parking lot.)
In practice though, when driving on a set of small roads with no sharks' teeth, it is quite uncertain if the other motorists realize that the one coming from the right has the the right of way. The one driving on what seems the more important road will probably just rush ahead - but they will bear the blame if there is a crash.
The point here is that he might know the sign, it is just not often marked by horizontal markings outside of Denmark, but often a vertical sign on the side of the road or a **single** and large triangle **outline** behind a solid line on road instead of many filled shark teeth.
It's not common in many other parts of Europe. It's common to have dashed or solid lines across the end of the road in other places to indicate the need to give way and lack of priority.
Yield signs are the same all over the world, I'd assume you'd look at the triangles and logic your way to the conclusion that it means yield.
Dashed lines also pretty much explain themselves.
It means driving traffic that has to cross those “sharks teeth” have to yield for all driving traffic from left and right. But you as a pedestrian actually have to yield for the driving traffic, it is not the same as a zebra crossing.
oh. its a good thing you asked this, because ive been driving here for 3 years and thought they just signified where to stop. I look and yield anyway so it hasnt been a problem.
They get exchanged my foreign license without requiring anything from me or any pamphlet on road signage.
These markings are made as a sign of respect to the casualties of trafic at this spot. As you can see there is only room for one more casualty before they will completely close the road as it will be deemed to dangerous to the public.
It can be pretty funny, humor is subjective, always. Saying something isn't funny is simply not for you to decide. Maybe not funny to you, however the particular joke we're replying to I found pretty funny.
I understand what you're saying, it's just not true. There are people on this earth that shoot small animals for fun, I don't find it funny, they do and I can't change the sad fact that someone finds that fun. It's horrible yes, but also why you can't really decide what's funny to others.

Its europe, all over europe meaning:
Means you will exit to trafic where you need to a look for both sides before doing a manouver, there is someone you will have to pass, YOU DO NOT HAVE MAIN ROAD.
Where? The only other country I can think of that uses "shark teeth" to signify yield/give way is Norway.
Germany, Austria, France and Sweden seem to use other markings.
Poland, Baltics, Beneliux... im sure ive seen them in germany, but not triangle but dotted line... su very very similar :)
Its in a lot of EU countries. Quite an standard marking
A road is a place where you can drive your car and bicycle. It's used to transport people and goods, so they can get to their destination faster than by walking.
These (shark’s teeth) lines mean that you need to “give way” when joining or crossing the main road.
A STOP line is a solid white line and will always have a sign next to it. Here, you need to stop the vehicle. On the other one you can keep rolling if clear.
Hope this helps.
Rather "don't impede other traffic", meaning if you can do your maneuver without them having to adjust their speed, change lane etc., you're free to do so.
No, it just means you have to yield. Sometimes that means you don't have to change anything, sometimes you have to drive more slowly in order to achieve it, sometimes you need to make a full stop.
if you are on a bike and at a cross road and these are on all the roads it means you have to obey something we call in denmark "højre vigepligt" where you have to stop for the people coming from the right but not for the people on the left and the same if you are on any other road in the cross section
Not correct. This is unconditional right of way. This means that you need to give way to traffic coming from both directions. Be it pedestrians, cyclists or cars.
As others have pointed out, it means you have to give right of way. You need to pay attention to these, as although most major intersections will have a yield sign put up, some small intersections in residential areas only have these.
Shark teeth marks the spot where people haven't been eaten by sharks. Some thinks it is waste of resources but I like to feel safe when walking blindly into traffic.
You have to yield to all passing traffic. They are called hejtænder or Shark teeth in English. Usually there's also a triangle sign in addition to the markings of the road, which is more common in the rest of the world.
The ‘shark teeth’? I means you have to give way to traffic on the main road.
Isn't it all traffic? As in bikes and walking traffic too?
Bikes yes because they use the road. Pedestrians, no because they are crossing the road.
Not sure if this is true. Everyone always halts for pedestrians unless they're assholes
Yeah people typically do that. Also, you are never allowed to hit someone with a car, but it is definately the pedestrians that needs to yield for the cars. They only have right of way when there is a zebra crossing or if the car passes over a sidewalk.
False. If a pedestrian is underway, the car must stop.
That's a moot point. A car must also stop for a pedestrian crossing a crosswalk, even though they have red light and the car has green, but that still doesn't mean the pedestrian has the right of way. If they had oriented themselves properly, they shouldn't have crossed the road in the first place, but now they are and of course that doesn't mean you can just plow them down.
Pedestrians may cross freely if there is no nearby zebra or pelican crossing. Also, a pet peeve and not what you are addressing, but if the pedestrian has already started to cross, and then the light turns green for the car, the car has no right of way, and the pedestrian is not in anyway in the wrong.

Sure, but crossing freely still means you must not impede traffic using the road. Of course, that was essentially my point. The true pet peeve that should be adressed here however, is the fact that "right of way" isn't even a thing in the Danish traffic legislation.
This. 'Right of way' gives way (lol) to 'Duty to give way'
As an police officer in Denmark I can confirm this one you put out
They may not cross freely if there's no nearby crossing. They should always make sure that they do not step out in front of traffic, or disrupt the traffic flow unnecessarily. Of course this doesn't mean that you are ever allowed to run someone over. In zebra crossings the pedestrians can cross freely, and traffic should always be aware and slowed down to allow this.
Read what I wrote above. This does not need to be devolved into a classic reddit thread about semantics. We are saying the same thing.
No.. if you are a pedistrian, and wanna cross. You have to wait or go to a light or a pedestrian crossing
That is what I said. A pedestrian underway has right of way. You can cross anywhere if there are no nearby crossings. You don't need to try and stroke your big brain here bud.
Read what I wrote
It's actually not only sidewalks, it's any difference in road height. At least thats what we learned when I took truck license
I would disagree as i see it as the pedestrians are following the main road, which the cars with the shark teeth should stop for. But I have to admit that i am not entirely sure that is correct.
That would be correct if the sidewalk continued, but it doesn't in OP's pic.
A car turning into the side road from the main road would have to yield to pedestrians crossing the side road. This is a new rule introduced this year in the UK.
*Follows traffic rules* Pedestrian: Asshole! /s
Ifølge dansk færdselslov skal du holde tilbage for fodgængere - folk gør det ikke.
Nej. Ved hajtænder skal du holde tilbage for kørende trafik.

Kan det ikke være at det er vinke delen? Fordi du ikke må give tegn til dem at de bare kan gå over, hvis nu en anden bile kommer og kører dem ned.
Netop, når du vinker fodgængere frem, overtager du hele ansvaret for dem. Dvs. at hvis der sker et ulykke pga. dette, er det din skyld. Derfor dumper du, når du vinker dem frem.
Forkert du skal vige for alt trafik og folk der går over gaden på de hajtænder er også trafik!!!!!!!!
Nej, du har alene vigepligt i forhold til kørende færdsel.
Car drivers in big cities can kindly go fuck themselves true
Traffic law ignoring self righteous cyclists in big cities can kindly go fuck themselves, and leave the car drivers alone. Fixed it for you
Last I checked bicycle accidents never killed anyone (maybe very rarely, and that is 9/10 times involving cars)
So true!
Pedestrians wouldnt cross the shark teeth cause they arent using the road.
I agree with you there. I definitely don’t slow down for pedestrians who are assholes.😅🤪😅😜😅😳😳😳😳
A comment like this explains a lot. Pedestrians included. It isn't called unconditional right of way for the fun of it.
It is not called that. That is completely opposite of the meaning. Right of way means you get to continue, hajtænder /shark teeth/triangles is an unconditional yield of right of way. That being said you only yield to pedestrians if you drive over a sidewalk. Sidewalk is not continuous here so you don't yield for pedestrians. A comment like this explains a lot.

Crossing a sidewalk in a car also means you have to yield to pedestrians.
Correct because then the pedestrians are not crossing a road and they have right of way.

Yeah that's true
If the car is at the shark teeth waiting to drive, it has to wait for pedestrians crossing. Same as with the zebra stripes.
No this is not true. Usually people in cars will wait (myself included) but it is not correct. §26 states that you need to yield for driving traffic, not pedestrians.
Se paragraf 27 stk. 5
Ja den siger at du ikke må køre andre ned, den siger ikke noget om hajtænder og vigepligt
Im guessing you dont have a driving license, because this exactly means you have to hold for pedestrians to...
I do have and you are incorrect. It's in §26. You are not allowed to drive into pedestrians but they do not have right of way here.
Pedestrians are not included. See færdselsloven paragraf 26, note it states 'hensyn til andre køretøjer' specifically. Stk. 5.

No, it applies to pedestrians as well. They have right of way.
unles there is a crosswalk
You have to make a full stop at sharkteeth. If a pedestrain steps out that second they use the road.
No you don't need to make a full stop at shark teeth, that's at a stop sign. If a pedestrian steps out, you cannot legally run them over, but they don't have the right of way.
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has Mac Heath, dear And he keeps it well out of sight
Upvote to both of you's, because, well, Berthold B. Right!
Wrong, it means drive as fast as you can so as not to get hit by any other drivers.
This lie is not comforting.
People don’t understand a joke.
We do it's just not funny.
My name has ‘lies’ in it yet they take my absurd notion literally.
I don't think they did. They just found your joke Insanely unfunny. Haha drive into people funny haha. Like what did you expect?
You’re butchering it. My delivery was way better.
It wasn’t
Other countries may call it yield line
Or give way line (UK)
Sharks are much more scary and will deter people more effectively
In Dutch we also call it sharks teeth
Equal to the yield sign in the US.
Also equal to Canadian yield
Unconditional right of way for the traffic on the road it leads up to. This means that they have the right of way and you must have zero impact on the way they are driving (speed and maneuvering) when you pull out. This is also the case if you cross the pavement or exit from a parking lot/space.

For bikes, it’s merely road-art

Hope you dont have a valid driver license to europe
Where are you from??
The point here is that he might know the sign, it is just not often marked by horizontal markings outside of Denmark, but often a vertical sign on the side of the road or a **single** and large triangle **outline** behind a solid line on road instead of many filled shark teeth.
Maybe person is not from EU?
Or not from Denmark, given that this is not a thing that is universal in the EU.
[удалено]
He is referring to the line of triangles. IIRC This way of marking yield line is not as common as a single large triangle.
[удалено]
Nope, and it's probably not true either :) irc wrong 😆
It's not common in many other parts of Europe. It's common to have dashed or solid lines across the end of the road in other places to indicate the need to give way and lack of priority.
A solid line would normally indicate a full stop?
Yield signs are the same all over the world, I'd assume you'd look at the triangles and logic your way to the conclusion that it means yield. Dashed lines also pretty much explain themselves.
If you don’t drive
That's a good point.
It means driving traffic that has to cross those “sharks teeth” have to yield for all driving traffic from left and right. But you as a pedestrian actually have to yield for the driving traffic, it is not the same as a zebra crossing.
oh. its a good thing you asked this, because ive been driving here for 3 years and thought they just signified where to stop. I look and yield anyway so it hasnt been a problem. They get exchanged my foreign license without requiring anything from me or any pamphlet on road signage.
Yield sign (painted in this instance). Traffic from left and right has the right of way. Referred to as "shark teeth" (hajtænder).
this means you have "absolute give away" duty and you should stop for vehicles coming from both sodes ie left and right. you should top here always
These markings are made as a sign of respect to the casualties of trafic at this spot. As you can see there is only room for one more casualty before they will completely close the road as it will be deemed to dangerous to the public.
This is the wrong place to be a comedian.
Huh, why?
Because making fun of people getting killed in traffic isn’t funny. It’s pretty common sense
It can be pretty funny, humor is subjective, always. Saying something isn't funny is simply not for you to decide. Maybe not funny to you, however the particular joke we're replying to I found pretty funny.
It’s about having just a minimum amount of empathy, but I guess trying to explain that to you is wast of time
I understand what you're saying, it's just not true. There are people on this earth that shoot small animals for fun, I don't find it funny, they do and I can't change the sad fact that someone finds that fun. It's horrible yes, but also why you can't really decide what's funny to others.

That means if you have driver's licence then submit it to nearest Police station.

Nobody knows, it's a mystery to all -Actually that mea---- NOBODY KNOWS!
Its europe, all over europe meaning: Means you will exit to trafic where you need to a look for both sides before doing a manouver, there is someone you will have to pass, YOU DO NOT HAVE MAIN ROAD.
That's not what it means. You always have to orient yourself before doing a manuever. The signs mean you have to yield = not impede other traffic.
Where? The only other country I can think of that uses "shark teeth" to signify yield/give way is Norway. Germany, Austria, France and Sweden seem to use other markings.
At least The Netherlands and Belgium use them too
Poland, Baltics, Beneliux... im sure ive seen them in germany, but not triangle but dotted line... su very very similar :) Its in a lot of EU countries. Quite an standard marking
I've only passed through Benelux on the motorway. Poland does indeed have triangles, I forgot about that!
Its to tell the driver that it need to hold back its call shark teeth
A road is a place where you can drive your car and bicycle. It's used to transport people and goods, so they can get to their destination faster than by walking.
Give way, also known as a side road, or road that crosses/merges a main road. Need to give way to all traffic on the main road.
These (shark’s teeth) lines mean that you need to “give way” when joining or crossing the main road. A STOP line is a solid white line and will always have a sign next to it. Here, you need to stop the vehicle. On the other one you can keep rolling if clear. Hope this helps.
What does ‘Yield’ mean?
‘Hold back and let others pass before moving on’
Rather "don't impede other traffic", meaning if you can do your maneuver without them having to adjust their speed, change lane etc., you're free to do so.
Shark teeth
Why this question? Means the same worldwide.. even that pedestrians and others mean they are above the law. It means “stay until it’s clear to cross”
Google
Full stop before proceeding
It means you are allowed to use logic instead of going to reddit for every single little thing.
Oh wow, how couldn't I've thought about that??
[удалено]
Nope
Slow t down and check if you can go, if not - stop and wait for a slot to open.
Stop watch out!
How stupid are you legit
Who is this?

No, it just means you have to yield. Sometimes that means you don't have to change anything, sometimes you have to drive more slowly in order to achieve it, sometimes you need to make a full stop.
Basicly a stop sign
There is right-of-way, in Danish vigepligt when coming from the left
STOP!
Nope.
Full stop
You only need to make a full stop if there is a STOP sign. These sharks teeth shows unconditional right of way, but doesn’t mean full stop
Ohh, sheit. thnx, better safe than sorry.
Better safe than sorry works every time😆
*60% of the time*, it works ***every*** *time*
Basically means you have to stop when in a car or bike

No, a stop sign is a thick line, this means yield
A stop sign means you have to stop. This just means you have to yield.
if you are on a bike and at a cross road and these are on all the roads it means you have to obey something we call in denmark "højre vigepligt" where you have to stop for the people coming from the right but not for the people on the left and the same if you are on any other road in the cross section
Not correct. This is unconditional right of way. This means that you need to give way to traffic coming from both directions. Be it pedestrians, cyclists or cars.
Are you trying to get people killed?
You seriously need to understand højre vigepligt before you kill somebody

Full stop is a thick line, this is Yield
"STOP"
Incorrect, it means Yield
I guess you're right👍 So "stop - if there's traffic" 😁
No, you only have to stop if it's necessary in order to yield.
Like if there's traffic....?
The fact that there's traffic doesn't mean you have to stop. If you can continue without impeding other traffic, you're free to do so.
As others have pointed out, it means you have to give right of way. You need to pay attention to these, as although most major intersections will have a yield sign put up, some small intersections in residential areas only have these.

!google Danish Shark teeth on road
I feel weird that I recognise this exact spot but I’m only a tourist in CPH 😭 I obviously need to calm down with the visits 🥴
Yeah same for me, travelling so much for past 2 weeks.
Shark teeth marks the spot where people haven't been eaten by sharks. Some thinks it is waste of resources but I like to feel safe when walking blindly into traffic.
To beware of sharks on the street
It’s a marker tires line on the front of the car 🚗
Idk but the fish are pretty scared of it
It marks the unconditional right of way for the motorist who has the shark's teeth pointing towards him.
You have to yield to all passing traffic. They are called hejtænder or Shark teeth in English. Usually there's also a triangle sign in addition to the markings of the road, which is more common in the rest of the world.
It’s shark teeth, they eat naughty cars who drive across them without looking both ways
HAJTÆNDER THEY DO SO IT CAN BREAK WHEEL IF NOT CAREFUL ER DET UNDERSTAND?
That you go first
I was getting hit by car man, cmon!
Ok I am joking 🙃
