Diversion - Arrow Right - Class RA1 - Temporary - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A “Diversion – Arrow Right” sign is a temporary directional sign used to guide traffic along an alternative route when the usual road is closed or impassable. It features the word “Diversion” with a right-pointing arrow, indicating that drivers must turn right to follow the designated detour. This sign is crucial for maintaining traffic flow and preventing confusion during roadworks, emergencies, or closures.

This sign is typically used on public roads, urban streets, rural routes, or near major junctions where roadworks, accidents, or planned closures require a change in the normal traffic route. It's most often seen as part of a series of diversion signs that direct traffic around the affected area and back onto the original route at a later point.

The sign should be placed at key decision points, such as intersections or junctions where drivers need to turn right to stay on the diversion route. It may also appear alongside advance warning signs like “Road Ahead Closed”, helping to manage driver expectations and reduce last-minute lane changes or unsafe maneuvers.

In practice, the “Diversion – Arrow Right” sign ensures safe and smooth redirection of vehicles away from closed roads. It is part of a temporary traffic management plan and is essential for preventing traffic congestion, reducing driver frustration, and maintaining access to nearby homes, businesses, and emergency routes during planned or unplanned disruptions.
