Two-way traffic

Warning signs

Two-way traffic

A red triangle with two opposite-direction arrows warns that traffic ahead flows in both directions on the same carriageway. Used when a one-way street ends, when a dual carriageway becomes single, or after roadworks revert to normal flow. Don't overtake without a clear, long view of the road ahead.
