Uneven Surface Sign – WK 071 | Temporary Ireland Traffic Sign

Uneven Surface Sign – WK 071

The Uneven Surface Sign – WK 071 is a vital temporary road sign used across Ireland to alert road users to hazardous surface conditions ahead. Often deployed during resurfacing, road planing, or patchwork operations, this sign communicates that the carriageway may be bumpy, uneven, or irregular – posing a potential safety risk if approached at regular speeds.

This warning sign is especially critical where there are abrupt changes in surface levels between old and new pavement layers or freshly milled roadways. The WK 071 helps reduce incidents by prompting early caution, encouraging drivers to reduce speed and prepare for an unpredictable ride quality. To enhance its effectiveness, it is typically used in conjunction with the P 080 ‘Slow’ Supplementary Plate, particularly at the beginning of the uneven section.

Designed to meet the rigorous standards of Chapter 8 of the Irish Traffic Signs Manual, this high-visibility orange sign is essential in protecting both road users and road workers during ongoing maintenance and repair works.
