Soft Verge Sign – WK 074 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

Soft Verge Sign – WK 074 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

The WK 074 – Soft Verge Sign is a critical temporary traffic warning sign used to inform drivers of unstable, soft, or unsuitable verges at the side of the carriageway, particularly near active or recently completed roadworks. Where the edge of the road may not support the weight of vehicles—posing a danger of collapse or getting stuck—this sign must be clearly displayed.

This sign is particularly important when temporary widening, trenching, or excavation has occurred near the edge of the road, and the shoulder or verge has not been fully reinstated or compacted. It may also be used in rural areas with grass verges, after wet weather or utility works.

According to Chapter 8 of the Irish Traffic Signs Manual, the WK 074 sign helps prevent accidents by alerting road users not to pull over, stop, or encroach on the edge of the road where support is insufficient.
