The Pass Either Side Sign – RUS 003 is a key regulatory traffic sign used throughout Ireland to guide vehicles around an obstruction in the roadway. It informs drivers that they may pass on either the left or right side of a central hazard, such as a bollard, refuge island, or traffic splitter. This instruction helps improve traffic flow and offers flexible navigation options based on the driver’s lane and direction.
The design is instantly recognizable: a blue circular background with two white downward-pointing arrows, angled diagonally outward. This sign is a crucial part of Ireland’s road safety infrastructure and is required in various urban and rural road layouts. It is fully compliant with the Traffic Signs Manual (Chapter 5) and is CE certified under EN12899-1, making it suitable for permanent installation by councils, contractors, and road authorities.
