Merging and Diverging Traffic Sign – W032 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign
The Merging and Diverging Traffic Sign – W032 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign is a key warning sign that notifies drivers of an upcoming section of road where traffic will first merge and then diverge shortly afterwards. This complex flow of movement requires heightened driver attention, lane discipline, and reduced speed to navigate safely.
The symbol features a bold vertical line intersected by angled arrows, representing traffic entering from one side and then branching off. This is set against a high-visibility yellow diamond background, ensuring clear advance warning in all lighting and weather conditions. As described in Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), W032 signs are essential for transition zones, motorway junctions, interchanges, and temporary traffic arrangements where drivers face rapid changes in road layout.
