School Ahead Sign – W141 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign
The School Ahead Sign – W141 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign is a critical warning sign used to alert drivers to the presence of a school in the immediate vicinity. It reminds motorists to slow down, stay alert, and prepare for the possibility of children crossing the road—particularly during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times. The sign features a bold, highly recognisable silhouette of two children walking, designed for immediate comprehension at a glance.
Mandated under Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), the W141 sign is essential in promoting safety in and around school zones. It is particularly important on roads with higher speed limits, limited visibility, or where no pedestrian crossing infrastructure is in place. Proper placement of this sign helps reduce the likelihood of accidents involving young pedestrians.
