Diversion - Arrow Left - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Diversion – Arrow Left sign is important because it directs drivers and pedestrians along an alternative route when the usual path is closed, blocked, or unsafe. Its primary purpose is to maintain smooth traffic flow, prevent confusion, and reduce the risk of accidents by clearly indicating the direction that should be taken.

This sign is typically used at roadworks, construction sites, or maintenance areas where the normal route is temporarily unavailable. It is placed at junctions, detours, or entry points to ensure that all road users approaching the obstruction can easily follow the correct route.

It is particularly important in areas with high traffic volumes, complex road layouts, or temporary diversions. By clearly indicating the alternate path, the sign helps prevent congestion, wrong turns, and unsafe driving or walking behaviours that could lead to collisions or delays.

Using Diversion – Arrow Left signs alongside other traffic management measures, such as barriers, cones, or additional directional signs, enhances safety and efficiency. Proper placement ensures that both drivers and pedestrians can navigate around the site or obstruction safely and without confusion.
