Merging With Traffic on Right Sign – W031 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

Merging With Traffic on Right Sign – W031 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Merging With Traffic on Right Sign – W031 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign warns drivers that traffic will merge from the right-hand side ahead, typically at an on-ramp or road entry point. This scenario requires attentiveness and often yielding to vehicles joining the main flow from the right.

The sign features a bold diagonal bar intersected by a vertical merging line from the right, all set on a yellow diamond background. This configuration is clearly identifiable and standardised under Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), ensuring immediate comprehension by motorists.

It’s most often installed on dual carriageways, motorways, and high-speed regional routes where slip roads, junctions, or secondary access points bring merging vehicles into the main line of traffic.

Technical Review

The W031 sign is designed and manufactured in accordance with EN12899-1 standards, ensuring optimal visibility, weather resistance, and durability. It provides essential warning on roads where merging traffic from the right could otherwise be missed, particularly in situations where curvature, elevation, or heavy vegetation might obscure sightlines.

This sign should be placed with adequate lead distance to allow drivers to anticipate the merge and adjust position or speed accordingly.
