Two-way traffic
Special regulation signs

Two-way traffic

The road carries traffic in both directions.

Expect oncoming traffic and keep to the correct side of the carriageway. These signs can identify a change to two-way operation, including a temporary traffic layout.

Australia’s R2-11 is a white rectangular sign with opposing black arrows. The United States’ CW6-4 is an orange rectangular panel with opposing black arrows, used along temporary centre lines to separate traffic travelling in opposite directions.

How it looks in each country

Official sign in each country; the code is its number in the national rules. Signs that come in two directions show the left and the right version.
