Side Road on Dual Carriageway Sign (With Central Reserve Break) – W012 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Side Road on Dual Carriageway Sign (With Central Reserve Break) – W012 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign is a warning sign used to notify drivers of a side road entering a dual carriageway at a point where a break exists in the central reserve. This layout allows turning or crossing traffic at a point where oncoming lanes would normally be separated, requiring extra driver attention and caution. The sign features two parallel vertical lines representing a dual carriageway, intersected by a horizontal bar indicating the side road and central break.

As outlined in Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), the W012 sign plays a crucial role in maintaining safety on high-speed roads, especially where vehicles may be turning right across lanes or entering from less visible access points. It is particularly important on rural dual carriageways, industrial access roads, and farm entrances.
