Other Restrictive Signs


The meaning of a Wrong Way sign is to provide a clear and immediate warning to drivers who may be entering a roadway, ramp, or other restricted area in the wrong direction. The Wrong Way sign, designated as R5-1a in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), is typically used in conjunction with other signs or markings to reinforce the message and ensure drivers are aware they are entering an area where they should not be going.

MUTCD R5-1a Guidance

These signs are crucial for maintaining the safety of all road users, as they help prevent head-on collisions and other dangerous situations that can arise when vehicles are traveling in opposite directions on the same roadway or lane. By clearly communicating to drivers that they are going the incorrect direction, these signs aim to minimize the risk of accidents and keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely.
