Explanation
Sign 117 is a warning sign for a T-junction. Like all warning signs, it is placed at a reasonable distance from the intersection - not inside the intersection and not after it. The purpose is to give the driver time to prepare for the intersection ahead. Warning signs are always placed before the hazard, at a distance that allows the driver to react.
