Priority To Oncoming Vehicles Signs
Priority to Oncoming Vehicles road traffic signs for narrow roads and controlled vehicle flow. Reflective, regulation-compliant signage for permanent or temporary road layouts.
Priority to Oncoming Vehicles Signs clearly instruct drivers to give way on narrow roads and single-lane sections. Designed for traffic calming schemes, roadworks and restricted width routes, these reflective road signs improve vehicle flow and reduce collision risk where opposing traffic must pass safely.
Install on approaches to narrow bridges, single-track roads, chicanes and traffic calming features where vehicles must give way to oncoming traffic. Mount on posts at standard roadside height with clear forward visibility. Use in conjunction with priority road markings and opposing priority signage where required.
