Merging Traffic From Left Sign – W030 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

Merging Traffic From Left Sign – W030 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Merging Traffic From Left Sign – W030 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign is a high-visibility warning sign used to alert drivers that vehicles will be merging from the left ahead. This is especially important on roads where on-ramps, slip roads, or left-side junctions reintroduce traffic into the main carriageway. The sign features a black merging symbol on a bright yellow diamond background, clearly indicating the convergence of lanes and the need to be aware of entering traffic.

As set out in Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), the W030 sign is essential in locations where lane discipline, reduced visibility, or speed differentials may lead to increased risk during merging. By warning motorists in advance, it supports smooth traffic flow and safer lane integration—particularly on dual carriageways, motorways, and high-speed regional roads.
