What to Do

Enter and travel only in that direction.

A Detail to Remember

A single horizontal arrow differs from the opposing arrows used for a two-way road.

Understanding Regulatory Signs

Regulatory signs communicate instructions road users must follow. Read supplementary wording carefully: the vehicle type, road layout or time of day can affect how an instruction applies.
