What does this sign mean?
A warning sign telling the driver that a crossroads lies ahead where routes cross from both left and right, so speed should be reduced and traffic on either side watched for. The pictogram shows two roads meeting at a right angle.
Where does it go and when is it required?
Used ahead of aisle intersections in large car parks, residential compounds, industrial areas and warehouse yards, and on haul routes at construction sites and temporary road works. This version is intended for private and internal roads; signs on public roads must be installed by the municipality or the competent roads authority.
Regulation notes: Signage on public roads in Saudi Arabia and the UAE is the responsibility of the municipality or the competent roads authority, and must follow the GCC traffic sign manual for shape, colour and size. These files are intended for private property, car parks and temporary site use, and are not a substitute for official road signs.
- Mount it on a post with the bottom edge 2.0–2.5 m above the road surface, far enough ahead of the junction.
- A3 is the practical choice for internal roads and entrances; A4 is enough for short aisles and covered car parks.
- Print on reflective stock or mount it on reflective tape so the symbol stays visible at night under headlights.
