Side Road on Left Sign – WK 050 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

The WK 050 – Side Road on Left Sign is a temporary traffic sign used to warn drivers of a road junction ahead to the left caused by roadworks. This sign plays a critical role in alerting motorists to unexpected access or diversion points created during temporary construction or maintenance operations.

It helps manage expectations and reduce sudden braking or swerving by providing early visual indication of an emerging side road, especially in zones where access routes have changed or detours have been introduced. WK 050 is commonly used in compliance with Chapter 8 Temporary Traffic Management Plans (TTMPs) on Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 roads across Ireland.
