Crossroads (Major Road) Ahead Sign – W015 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign
The Crossroads (Major Road) Ahead Sign – W015 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign alerts drivers that they are approaching a crossroads where a major road intersects the route ahead. Unlike standard junctions, this layout typically involves higher volumes of merging traffic and greater vehicle speeds, making early awareness essential for safe decision-making.
The sign features a bold horizontal black bar (representing the major road) intersected by a vertical line (representing the approaching road) on a yellow diamond background. This format provides quick visual interpretation and is compliant with Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM).
This sign is critical on regional and national secondary roads where minor routes intersect with higher-speed or busier priority roads. It allows drivers to slow down, prepare for cross traffic, and navigate the junction with heightened caution.
Technical Review
Designed in full compliance with TSM 2024 and certified to EN12899-1, the W015 sign is suitable for installation at permanent crossroads with high vehicle activity. It helps avoid last-minute braking or hesitation by giving early, clear notice of a potentially complex traffic situation.
This sign is typically used where the intersecting major road has priority and crossing traffic may be unexpected, especially in low-visibility conditions or on rural approaches.
