Two-way Traffic Crossing Sign – W081 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign
The Two-way Traffic Crossing Sign – W081 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign alerts drivers that they are approaching a location where two-way traffic will cross the current roadway. This is particularly important when transitioning from a one-way system to a road with two-directional traffic, helping prevent confusion or hazardous movements.
The sign displays two bold horizontal arrows, one pointing left and the other right, on a yellow diamond background. This clear and simple symbol is specified under Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), and is critical in urban, campus, industrial estate, or roadwork zones where road configurations change unexpectedly.
Proper placement of this sign ensures road users are aware of the return to standard traffic conditions and the need to look both ways before proceeding.
Technical Review
The W081 sign is manufactured to meet EN12899-1 standards and follows all current TSM 2024 specifications. It provides clear, advance notice of traffic flow changes and is especially effective in transitional road environments.
It is often used where one-way detours reconnect with standard roads or in complex traffic arrangements where motorists may not anticipate oncoming traffic.
