Miscellaneous Temporary Signs
Details of new road scheme under construction
Information about street works, with an emergency telephone number
Maximum speed advised on a road with loose chippings
Maximum speed advised through road works
Maximum speed and no overtaking through a road with loose chippings
Temporary sudden change in road surface
Temporary sudden change in road surface ahead
Sharp deviation of route to the left (right if chevrons reversed) at road works or other temporary obstruction
In the event of a breakdown within a road works site, await rescue by free recovery service
Where a mandatory speed limit is imposed at a road works site, advance warning may be given, especially on motorways and high-speed dual carriageway roads. However, this sign is less likely to be used in the future: the first speed limit sign will be located at the point where the speed limit commences
The end of a temporary mandatory speed limit is indicated by the "end of road works" sign. However, the message may be reinforced by a sign indicating the permanent speed limit beyond the road works. This may be combined with the "end of road works" sign. Where the permanent limit after the works is different from that in advance of the works, a speed limit sign is always used. The national speed limit sign shown in the example is varied to the appropriate limit
Instructions to drivers of wide loads on action to be taken before reaching road works ahead (instructions may vary)
Location of telephone to be used by drivers of wide loads to seek assistance
Additional traffic lane available ahead as part of a temporary traffic management scheme

This sign is used on a single carriageway road with more than two lanes, to indicate that a lane in the centre of the road is temporarily closed

On a single carriageway road traffic is going to move to the opposite side of the road. This sign is typically used on the mountain during the TT period
Traffic signals not in use. This sign will be attached to the same post as the signals
Headroom at a bridge is reduced ahead
