Warning signs

Quayside or river bank ahead

A red triangle with a car going over a quay edge into water. Found near docks, marinas and rivers without barriers — driving off the edge is a real risk in fog, in the dark, or if you take a wrong turn. Drop your speed, follow signs carefully, and don't park near the water's edge without setting the handbrake firmly.
