D4.10SIGNS FOR LANE RESTRICTIONS, CLOSURES AND CONTRA-FLOW WORKS

D4.10.1 The detailed design of signs for lane restrictions and lane changes is shown on the working drawings (see paragraph D1.2.2) or dealt with in Section 13 of Chapter 7. The principles for using these signs are described in Section D5 for single carriageway roads and Section D6 for dual carriageway roads.

D4.10.2 Wicket signs such as those illustrated in paragraphs D4.10.5 to D4.10.10 and variants, should only be used on dual carriageway roads.

D4.10.3 The following signs are used to indicate lanes open or closed to traffic and contra-flow working.

D4.10.4 The centre lane of a three-lane single carriageway road is closed with traffic on the off side of the works travelling in the opposite direction.

7202

D4.10.5 The two right-hand lanes of a four-lane dual carriageway are closed to traffic ahead. On this and the following signs the number of arrows indicating which lines are open or closed to traffic may be varied.
