End of central reserve or obstruction

End of central reserve or obstruction

Shows that the central reserve or obstruction ends and the road returns to an undivided two-way layout.

Warning signs for road work

What should you do?

Keep left, as oncoming traffic will now be directly alongside you without a dividing island.

How to recognise it

Orange diamond with an upward arrow on the left, a downward arrow on the right and an island at the bottom.

Common confusion

Island at the bottom means the end; island at the top means the start of the central reserve.
