Lanes Diverge at Crossover Sign – WK 020 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

Lanes Diverge at Crossover Sign – WK 020 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

The WK 020 – Lanes Diverge at Crossover Sign is a specialised temporary traffic sign used on dual carriageways where traffic is split between two distinct movements. It indicates that lane 1 continues on the left, while lane 2 crosses over the central reserve to the opposite carriageway—signalling the start of a contra-flow system.

This sign is crucial in high-speed and high-volume roadworks where both continuity and clarity are essential. By clearly differentiating the movements of each lane, it reduces driver hesitation and increases safety at the critical transition point of a temporary traffic layout.

WK 020 should be placed at the start of the crossover system, immediately before the central reserve transition. It’s widely used in conjunction with other WK-series signs, barrier systems, and supplementary plates as part of a TSM Chapter 8-compliant traffic management plan.
