Sheep Sign – W 152 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign
The Sheep Sign – W 152 is a vital warning sign used on rural Irish roads to alert drivers to the potential presence of sheep wandering near or across the road. This sign helps prevent collisions and livestock injuries, especially in regions with free-grazing practices, open commonage, or unfenced pastures.
As sheep are commonly encountered along secondary routes, mountain roads, and in farming communities across Ireland, the W 152 sign plays a key role in protecting both motorists and animals. Its instantly recognisable silhouette of a sheep on a yellow diamond background delivers a clear message to slow down, stay alert, and expect animals on or near the carriageway.
