DUAL CARRIAGEWAY ROADS

Plan DZB5: Lane-change zone for a single lane closure on a dual carriageway road with a permanent speed limit of 50 mph or 60 mph

Three pairs of advance signs are required at 200 yard intervals:

  • wicket signs indicating the closed lane (7202) with distance panel "600 yards" (7208) on the near side and the off side, placed 600 m in advance of the works lead taper; and
  • the wicket signs with appropriate distance panel (400 yards and 200 yards) are placed at 400 m and 200 m in advance of the works lead taper.

For entry taper details, including relaxations, see Plan DZB2.

Where a speed limit lower than the permanent speed limit is required, signs to diagram 670 should be placed as shown on Plan DZB6.

Keys to the plans are given in Tables A1.4 and [[../../A1#table1.5|A1.5]] of Appendix 1.

NOTE: Where no hard shoulder is present, no signing to Detail A is required.
