Y-junction Sign – W005 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign
The Y-junction Sign – W005 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign alerts drivers to a Y-shaped intersection, where the main road splits into two separate paths. This layout requires advance decision-making by motorists and can lead to confusion or unsafe manoeuvres if not properly signposted.
The sign displays a bold black “Y” symbol on a yellow diamond-shaped background — immediately conveying the road split ahead. It’s especially useful on rural or secondary roads where vegetation, bends, or dips can hide the junction from view.
As defined in Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), this sign helps improve safety by giving drivers early notice of diverging traffic routes.
Technical Review
Manufactured to meet both TSM Chapter 6 guidelines and the European EN12899-1 standard, this junction warning sign is built for durability and visibility. Its purpose is to reduce last-second lane changes or abrupt stops that can occur when a diverging road isn’t clearly marked in advance.
It is frequently installed on approach roads where speeds are higher or sightlines are limited — providing vital awareness and time to act safely.
