In New Zealand, the paint markings on the road make it clear. Yellow line across the road for stop, white for give way. Examples here: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/code-for-cycling/intersect...

Like any good UI, it isn’t something I could immediately recall, but it is something I mostly unconsciously notice when driving. You can also look for signs, but it isn’t as trustworthy.

I really like this design. The UK has a similar system, where there's always a line across the road whenever road users have to stop or give way. There are different types of lines [1] but even without knowing by heart what each of them means I've always found it obvious what one has to do (based on signs and other road markings).
