Other Hazard Sign – W170 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Other Hazard Sign – W170 serves as a flexible, all-purpose warning sign used across Ireland to alert drivers of unexpected or unspecified road hazards ahead. With its unmistakable black exclamation mark on a yellow diamond background, the W170 sign is the go-to option when no specific hazard sign applies but a real risk remains.

Whether used to indicate temporary construction-related dangers, environmental threats (such as rockfall or loose gravel), or other irregular road conditions, this sign ensures that motorists are aware and can reduce speed accordingly. As outlined in Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), the W170 sign is vital where visibility, response time, and driver alertness are critical to safety.
