Where:
On any road, but especially in rural areas, construction zones, or places where temporary obstacles such as roadworks, maintenance equipment, or fallen debris may be present.
These signs are used when the normal road alignment is altered, requiring drivers to adjust their path to safely navigate around the obstruction.
Purpose:
To warn drivers that there is a temporary obstruction or hazard next to or on the road, which may require moving to the left or right to pass safely.
The warning ensures that drivers approach the obstruction with caution, reducing the risk of collisions or accidents.
Action:
Do not attempt to overtake or pass near the obstruction.
Reduce your speed well in advance to safely navigate around the altered road alignment.
Be alert for emergency flashing lights, temporary signs, or traffic officers directing traffic.
Follow all temporary road markings and obey instructions from traffic controllers.
Maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead, as sudden stops or slow movement may occur near the obstruction.
Proceed cautiously until you have safely passed the obstruction and the road returns to its normal alignment.
