Crossroads Ahead at Dual Carriageway Sign – W019 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

Crossroads Ahead at Dual Carriageway Sign – W019 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Crossroads Ahead at Dual Carriageway Sign – W019 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign is used to warn motorists of a crossroads occurring on a dual carriageway, where traffic may be entering or crossing from both directions. Unlike typical crossroads, this layout includes a central reserve, meaning drivers must be prepared for vehicles approaching from multiple angles and for potential delays when turning or crossing.

The sign features two bold horizontal lines representing the carriageways, intersected by a vertical road symbol. Displayed on a yellow diamond background, it provides a clear visual message aligned with the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM) Chapter 6. It helps alert drivers in time to adjust speed and approach with caution, particularly in high-speed environments.

This sign is especially important for national secondary roads and regional routes with complex junction layouts and where traffic volume, speed, and driver visibility are key concerns.

Technical Review

The W019 sign is manufactured to strict EN12899-1 standards and fully adheres to TSM 2024 guidance. It is used where crossroads intersect dual carriageways and where vehicles may have to navigate multi-phase movements — crossing two live lanes, merging between directions, or waiting in the median.

Strategic placement of this sign increases road user awareness and helps reduce sudden braking or confusion when faced with multi-lane junctions.
