Dual carriageway ends warning sign: a red-bordered triangle showing two separate lanes joining into one road

Dual carriageway ends

The dual carriageway ends sign warns that the central reservation is about to end, so traffic in both directions will soon share a single carriageway. Finish any overtaking, move back into the left-hand lane in good time and expect oncoming traffic on the other side of the road.

Official Highway Code caption: “Dual carriageway ends.”

Listed under “Mostly triangular” in The Highway Code: traffic signs (GOV.UK). For every sign in more detail, see the Department for Transport’s Know your traffic signs.
