Slippery Road Sign – W 134 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign
The Slippery Road Sign – W 134 is a vital traffic safety sign that warns drivers of a potentially hazardous slippery surface ahead. The sign features the silhouette of a vehicle with curved skid marks trailing behind it, set against a bright yellow diamond background for maximum visibility and immediate recognition.
In line with Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), the W 134 sign is used on road sections where wet, icy, or oily conditions may reduce tyre grip and increase the risk of skidding. It’s particularly useful in areas prone to flooding, runoff, surface wear, or where heavy vehicles frequently deposit residues such as diesel or oil.
By alerting drivers in advance, this sign encourages reduced speed, gentler manoeuvring, and greater caution—especially in bad weather. It is a must-have safety measure on bends, slopes, approach zones to junctions, and transitional surfaces such as metal bridge decks or expansion joints.
