T-junction (Type 1) Sign – W003 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

T-junction (Type 1) Sign – W003 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The T-junction (Type 1) Sign – W003  is designed to alert drivers that they are approaching a T-junction, where the through road terminates and traffic must turn either left or right. This type of sign is typically used where a lower-priority side road meets a more important through route, and where the junction may not be immediately visible.

This sign features a bold black “T” symbol on a yellow diamond background — instantly recognisable and used consistently across Ireland under the specifications of Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM). It provides essential advance warning to motorists, allowing them to reduce speed and prepare for a significant change in road layout.

Technical Review

Rennicks produces the W003 sign in accordance with the latest guidance from the TSM (2024 update) and the European standard EN12899-1. Suitable for all Irish road types, this sign supports consistent road user expectations and improves junction safety where stopping or yielding is required.

It is commonly installed in rural and suburban areas, particularly where approach speeds are high or the junction layout is obscured by terrain or vegetation.
