Diagram 825VR – 100 Yards to a Roundabout or Exit on a Non-Primary Route
The Diagram 825VR sign, featuring one diagonal white bar on a green background, serves as a critical advance warning sign, informing drivers that they are 100 yards away from a roundabout or the next available exit on a non-primary route.
This sign is the final stage of the progressive countdown system, which includes Diagram 823 (300 yards) and Diagram 824VR (200 yards). It ensures that drivers receive timely guidance, allowing them to be in the correct lane before reaching the roundabout or exit. The use of this system is particularly important on non-primary roads, where clear instructions help maintain smooth traffic flow and prevent sudden braking or dangerous lane changes.

Where is the Diagram 825VR Sign Used?

- Approaches to roundabouts on A-roads 🔄 – Ensures a controlled and smooth approach.
- Non-primary road exits 🛣️ – Helps drivers safely transition to another route.
- Junctions leading to local roads or service areas ⛽ – Improves navigation for unfamiliar drivers.

This placement ensures drivers have a clear last reminder to prepare for an upcoming turn or exit.
Part of the Countdown System
The Diagram 825VR sign is the third and final stage in the progressive countdown system, which helps drivers prepare for exits and roundabouts in a gradual and safe manner. The full sequence includes:
✅ 300 yards – Diagram 823 (three white bars) – First warning to prepare for the exit.
✅ 200 yards – Diagram 824VR (two white bars) – Reinforces the message, allowing drivers to position themselves correctly.
✅ 100 yards – Diagram 825VR (one white bar) – The final reminder before the exit, ensuring drivers are in the correct lane.
This structured approach prevents last-minute decisions, improving road safety and reducing congestion.
