Roadworks Ahead Sign – WK 001 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

Roadworks Ahead Sign – WK 001 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

The Roadworks Ahead Sign – WK 001 is the primary warning sign used to alert drivers of upcoming roadworks on Irish roads. As required by Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), this is the first sign that should be placed on approach to any roadworks site. Its highly visible design ensures early driver awareness, helping reduce speed and improve roadworker safety.

This sign may be used with Supplementary Plate P 082 (to indicate the nature of the works) or P 001 (to show the distance to the start of the works) when additional advance warning is necessary. Ideal for rural, urban, and high-speed environments, the WK 001 is essential to any compliant temporary traffic management setup.
