curved priority road
Explanation:
Could also use "curved right-of-way," which is closer to the original German, but I think "road" better captures the actual situation.

(Main) Road Entering Curve


Explanation:
Das amerikanische Schild sieht fasst so aus wie das deutsche. Es handelt sich auch um eine Hauptstraße die abknickt.

The main road curves to the left with a side road entering from the right. Approach the intersection with extra caution. A driver preparing to enter the main road may not be able to see you approaching from around the curve and may pull out in front of you, leaving you little room to avoid a crash, if you are traveling too fast.
