Warning Signs
Warning signs are used to warn traffic of potentially hazardous conditions on or adjacent to the road. Warning signs advise of conditions which require caution on the part of the driver and may call for a reduction in speed in the interest of the safety of the driver and of other road users.
In general, warning signs are diamond shaped (square with one diagonal vertical) with a black legend or symbol, or both, and a black border on a yellow reflectorised background.
The W8 series signs are used in conjunction with other signs in the Warning Series to supplement and clarify the message conveyed and are generally rectangular.
