Site Access Sign – WK 052 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

Site Access Sign – WK 052 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

The WK 052 – Site Access Sign is a highly visible temporary sign used to indicate the location of a construction site entrance or exit. This sign is essential for ensuring that both site workers and general road users are clearly informed of entry and exit points at active construction zones.

In compliance with Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, WK 052 is used to mark direct access points from public roads into work sites. On roads with speed limits greater than 80 km/h, it must be preceded by an advance WK 052 sign with Supplementary Plate P 001 stating the distance to the entrance (e.g. “SITE ACCESS 100m”). For larger projects with multiple access points, supplementary numbering or colour-coded plates can be added for clarity and site coordination.

This sign plays a vital role in improving road safety, traffic control, and site logistics by reducing confusion and helping vehicles enter or leave work areas in a safe and orderly fashion.
