Flagman Ahead Sign – WK 061 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

The Flagman Ahead Sign – WK 061 is a crucial part of any temporary traffic control system used to alert road users of manual or automated traffic regulation ahead. Typically seen on roads where Stop/Go traffic control is active, this sign serves as an early visual cue for drivers to reduce speed and prepare to stop if necessary. Whether operated by personnel holding Stop/Go discs or an automated signalling system, it ensures that approaching motorists are aware of human-directed traffic flow changes.

According to Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), this sign is essential on roads where lane closures, alternating one-way traffic, or shuttle operations are in place. It’s particularly important on roads with speed limits exceeding 80 km/h or where forward visibility is limited. In such cases, the WK 061 sign may be accompanied by Supplementary Plate P 001, indicating the distance to the control point ahead.

The high-contrast black silhouette of a traffic controller holding a flag on a vivid orange diamond-shaped background ensures maximum driver awareness and compliance in both day and night conditions. The design simplicity combined with CE Certified reflective material ensures effectiveness and road safety in varied Irish weather conditions.
