Regulatory signs

Vehicles may pass either side

A blue circle with two white arrows pointing diagonally outwards. Means you can pass the obstacle (usually a traffic island or central pillar) on either the left OR right side. Often seen at the junctions where two lanes split around a refuge, or at the centre of a wide road that's been split.

Where you'll see this sign

Wide streets with central traffic islands, certain gyratory entrances, and the start of dual-carriageway segments where there's a brief central pillar.
