Chevron board

Chevron board

Marks a sharp change of direction to the left at a bend or junction.

General Warning Signs

What should you do?

Slow down before the bend and follow the direction the chevrons point, keeping within your lane.

How to recognise it

Long rectangular board with black and yellow chevrons pointing to the left.

Common confusion

The chevrons point the way the road turns, so a left-pointing board means the road bends left.
