The Queues Likely Sign – W163 is a critical warning sign used on Irish roads to notify drivers that traffic congestion may occur ahead. Whether due to traffic lights, roundabouts, toll plazas, or regular peak-hour conditions, this sign helps reduce the risk of sudden stops and rear-end collisions.
Featuring a bold black silhouette of queuing vehicles on a yellow diamond background, the sign is instantly recognisable and is placed in advance of areas prone to bottlenecks. Required under Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), this sign plays a crucial role in pre-emptive traffic control and road user awareness.
