Tractors Sign – W168 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

Tractors Sign – W168 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Tractors Sign – W168 is an official warning sign used across Ireland to notify motorists of the potential presence of agricultural vehicles such as tractors or other slow-moving machinery on the road. This sign is commonly installed along rural routes, farming regions, and access roads leading to agricultural facilities.

Designed in accordance with Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), this yellow diamond-shaped sign features a bold black silhouette of a tractor, clearly signalling to drivers the need to reduce speed and increase awareness. The W168 sign enhances road safety by preventing sudden braking and collisions in areas where slower-moving traffic is expected.

This sign is particularly important during harvest seasons or in regions where heavy agricultural activity regularly intersects with public roads.
