Level Crossing with No Flashing Red Signal Sign – W121 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

Level Crossing with No Flashing Red Signal Sign – W121 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Level Crossing with No Flashing Red Signal Sign – W121 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign warns drivers of an upcoming railway level crossing without active warning lights, but typically equipped with barriers or gates. This sign is crucial for road safety in areas where crossings may not have electronic warning systems, ensuring drivers approach with caution and prepare to stop if necessary.

The sign features a black picket-style barrier icon on a yellow diamond background, clearly indicating a traditional gated railway crossing. It is officially referenced in Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM) and is commonly found on rural or secondary roads, particularly in regions where automated flash warnings are not in use.

W121 serves as a visual reminder that driver vigilance is essential, as trains may approach even without prior audible or visible alerts.

Technical Review

This sign is CE certified and manufactured in compliance with EN12899-1 and TSM 2024 standards. It is suited to both permanent installations at known railway crossings and temporary diversions or new junction layouts involving rail lines.

While automated crossings are increasingly common, many locations in Ireland still rely on physical gates or barriers without electronic flashing systems. The W121 ensures those sites remain safely marked and legally compliant.
