The Low-flying Aircraft Sign – W165 is a vital warning sign used to alert motorists that aircraft may be flying at low altitudes above the road ahead. Commonly positioned near airfields, military zones, or regional airports, this sign helps prepare drivers for sudden noise or visual distractions that could impact focus and safety.
Designed to Irish TSM Chapter 6 standards, the W165 sign is a bright yellow diamond featuring the silhouette of an aircraft, offering instant clarity even at high speeds. Its presence is essential for reducing startle reactions that could result in accidents, particularly on rural roads with limited shielding from aircraft paths.
