Tram Crossing Sign – W 124 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign
The Tram Crossing Sign – W 124 is a key warning sign used to alert road users that a tram crossing point lies ahead. It features a black silhouette of a tramcar on a bright yellow diamond background, providing an instantly recognisable symbol that communicates the presence of light rail vehicles intersecting the roadway. This sign is essential in areas where trams operate at-grade alongside or across regular traffic.
As outlined in Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), the W 124 sign is designed to prepare drivers to slow down, stay alert, and yield as needed to oncoming trams. Trams are typically longer and slower to manoeuvre than other vehicles and operate under different traffic rules. The presence of this sign enhances road safety and prevents potential conflicts at tram priority points.
This sign is commonly installed near Luas lines, urban rail extensions, and multimodal junctions where tram operations intersect with vehicular or pedestrian routes.
