Puzzling junction markings

[IJWS15]

We are in Brittany at the moment and these junctions puzzle me - OK coming from 2 directions you have to stop and from the other 2 you give way but anyone know what the rules are when it is busy?

Just met one vehicle at one so far and waited for him to go first.

Not sure how it works but I encountered them for the first time a few years ago and almost lost my roofbox! Seemed completely out of the blue and I had to slam on the anchors.

It's a cheap form of traffic calming, designed to slow traffic down, essentially you are giving way to the right.

AIUI, the dotted lines just denote the edge of the lane, the solid lines are definitive Stop markings, so traffic coming from the North or South would always have precedence over East-West

The solid lines are stop lines, the broken lines aren’t lane edge but positioned as a give way line would be.

There's a junction like this in my town here in the UK, which was set up this way because it was an accident blackspot with poor sight lines, where there had been fatal accidents. The intention is that if you arrive at the "give way" line, and there is traffic stopped at the "stop" lines on the crossing road, then you are expected to give way to the stopped vehicles, who then proceed across the junction.

Here's the Luxembourg Code from Pg.36 onwards that confirms.

Useful but doesn’t early cover this case, there are stop signs at the approaches with the sop lines and Cedez-le-passage signs on the other two.

My Code Route or whatever it is called is at home so will look next week.

I don't see how that differs from the UK example I gave? What am I missing? In both cases, yours and mine, vehicles approaching the Stop sign and stop line must stop, vehicles approaching the Give Way (cedez le passage) sign and broken lines must give way to vehicles on the other road, even if they are stationary at the stop line (which means you stop at the broken line and the vehicles at the stop lines/signs then proceed across the junction whilst you wait until it's clear).
