Level Crossing with Flashing Red Signals Sign – W 120

Level Crossing with Flashing Red Signals Sign – W 120 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Level Crossing with Flashing Red Signals Sign – W 120 is a critical safety warning used to alert drivers that a railway level crossing ahead is controlled by flashing red signals. Designed to give early notice of the potential need to stop, this sign features a vivid illustration of a railway track, signal lights, and a train silhouette on a yellow diamond background—ensuring instant driver recognition.

As defined in Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), the W 120 sign is a vital part of Ireland’s rail safety infrastructure. It ensures that motorists reduce speed and remain alert when approaching a crossing where automated signal lights are used to stop traffic before the arrival of a train.

Commonly installed on approaches to rural and suburban railway intersections, industrial rail links, or regional train lines, this sign plays an important role in preventing collisions and enhancing situational awareness for all road users.
