Warns of an uneven road surface or a drop at the edge of the road in the works area.

Warning signs for road work

What should you do?

Slow down and keep away from the edge where the surface level changes.

How to recognise it

Orange diamond with a car tilting where the road surface drops away.

Common confusion

It is not the quay or river sign; the problem here is a temporary level difference at the works.
