Loop road ahead

Loop road ahead

Warns that the road ahead loops round on itself, turning back in a tight circular curve.

General Warning Signs

What should you do?

Slow down well before the loop and keep a steady, low speed through the continuous bend.

How to recognise it

Small yellow diamond with a black circular arrow that almost completes a full loop.

Common confusion

It is not the mini-roundabout sign, which has three arrows around a central dot.
