Obstruction Between Lanes Sign – WK 016 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

Obstruction Between Lanes Sign – WK 016 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

The WK 016 – Obstruction Between Lanes Sign is a temporary roadworks sign used to indicate that traffic travelling in the same direction must split to pass on either side of an obstruction. This is commonly deployed where temporary physical barriers, works equipment, or structural elements occupy the centre of a lane or dual-lane setup.

WK 016 ensures drivers are made aware in advance that their lane is interrupted and that they may continue safely by following the indicated diverging paths. It plays a vital role in maintaining lane discipline and flow, especially on high-speed or high-volume carriageways, by reducing hesitation or last-minute lane changes.

This sign is typically used on major routes, motorways, and dual carriageways as part of a wider temporary traffic management plan (TTMP), in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Irish Traffic Signs Manual (TSM).
