Where:
On any road, before a section where the road splits into two separate paths, commonly found at Y junctions or forked intersections.
These signs are usually placed on or near the gore area, the triangular section between diverging lanes, to guide drivers safely through the split.

Purpose:
To warn drivers that the road ahead divides into two separate roads.
The chevron directs attention to the split and helps prevent confusion or last-minute lane changes, which can be dangerous, especially if traffic is approaching from the other road.

Action:
Plan your route in advance and decide which road to take well before reaching the split.
Reduce speed and approach the fork cautiously to navigate safely through the divergence.
Watch for approaching traffic, particularly if you are taking the right-hand road, as vehicles may cross paths.
Follow the chevron markings on the gore plate to position your vehicle correctly and safely through the junction.
Stay alert for other vehicles, motorcycles, or cyclists who may also be navigating the split.
Use turn signals to indicate your intended path, giving clear guidance to other road users.
