Loop Sign – W033 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

Loop Sign – W033 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Loop Sign – W033 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign is used to warn drivers of a looping or sharply curved road section ahead. This type of bend often requires a significant reduction in speed and increased vehicle control due to its tight radius and continuous turning motion.

This warning sign features a bold black circular arrow, forming a loop, set against a high-visibility yellow diamond background. It serves as an essential visual cue in compliance with Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM) and plays a key role in helping drivers anticipate sharp directional changes and adjust their driving accordingly.

Loop signs are commonly installed in mountainous regions, rural routes, or coastal roads where natural topography or road layout necessitates tight, looping curves that may not be immediately visible to approaching drivers.

Technical Review

Manufactured in full alignment with EN12899-1 standards and the latest TSM 2024 guidance, the W033 Loop sign ensures optimal visibility, reflectivity, and weather resistance. Its design helps to minimise loss of control incidents, especially during poor weather conditions, on wet roads, or in areas where speed management is critical.

This sign should be placed at an adequate stopping distance from the curve to give road users time to slow down and prepare for the looped alignment.
