The Double Arrow Sign is a traffic control sign that is placed either on or near an obstruction, traffic island, or gore in the road. It indicates that vehicles are allowed to pass on either side of the obstruction. The sign warns that traffic will usually rejoin after passing the obstruction, but in some cases, traffic may continue in different directions.
Purpose:
- This sign is used to inform drivers that they can pass on either side of an obstruction on the road, such as a traffic island, gore area, or other similar obstacles.
- It may also indicate that after passing the obstruction, traffic may rejoin the same lane or continue in different directions.
Common Locations:
- Typically placed around or near obstructions like traffic islands, medians, or roadworks that temporarily require vehicles to pass on either side.
