Crossroads on Bend Sign – W011 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

Crossroads on Bend Sign – W011 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Crossroads on Bend Sign – W011 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign is used to warn motorists of a crossroads junction positioned on or near a bend, where the curve of the road may reduce visibility of intersecting traffic. This type of junction can pose additional risks due to limited sightlines and unexpected vehicle movements from either side.

The symbol displays a curved arrow indicating the main road’s path, with horizontal arms representing the crossroads layout. Presented on a yellow diamond background, the sign provides drivers with early visual warning, encouraging lower speeds and increased attention.

Compliant with Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), this sign is essential in rural and secondary road networks, where junctions may appear suddenly due to bends, hedgerows, or elevation changes.

Technical Review

The W011 Crossroads on Bend sign is manufactured to EN12899-1 standards and follows all placement, sizing, and visibility rules outlined in TSM 2024. It plays a key safety role on winding roads where visibility to side roads is compromised and drivers need advance notice of crossing traffic.

It is typically installed on approach curves where a side road intersects from both directions, requiring early driver response to merging or turning vehicles.
