Dual Carriageway Ends Sign – W095 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

Dual Carriageway Ends Sign – W095 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Dual Carriageway Ends Sign – W095 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign is used to notify drivers that the divided road layout is coming to an end, and that traffic will continue on a single carriageway ahead. This transition requires drivers to exercise caution, reduce speed, and remain alert for merging vehicles and reduced overtaking opportunities.

This sign features two vertical black bars that converge into a single bar, forming a symbolic funnel on a yellow diamond background. It is a standard warning defined in Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), particularly effective at the end of dual carriageways, bypasses, and major national routes.

Advance notice of this change in road layout helps prevent last-minute lane changes and encourages smoother traffic merging and spacing.

Technical Review

The W095 sign is produced in compliance with EN12899-1 and updated TSM 2024 guidance, offering maximum clarity and visibility. It is vital for situations where the road reverts from divided to undivided – a scenario often found at the end of rural bypasses or upgrade schemes.

Correct placement provides drivers with the opportunity to adapt early to the upcoming single carriageway conditions, reducing the likelihood of collisions in narrowing zones.
