⚠️ Ford Warning Sign – Diagram 554 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign

It is an official UK road warning sign used to inform motorists that the road ahead includes a ford (shallow water crossing). This sign is crucial for road safety and vehicle protection, ensuring that drivers reduce speed, assess water depth, and proceed cautiously to avoid stalling or vehicle damage.
