Two-Way Traffic Warning Sign – Diagram 521 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Two-Way Traffic Warning Sign – Diagram 521 is an essential UK road sign used to alert drivers that they are approaching or entering a section of road where two-way traffic flows. This warning is especially important where roads transition from dual carriageways, one-way systems, or diversions into two-way configurations.

Available in all standard triangular UK sign sizes — 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm — this sign is suitable for both temporary and permanent installations, with mounting options including channel fixings, plate-only, and self-adhesive systems.
🔧 Technical Review
This triangle warning sign features a bold upward-pointing black arrow next to a downward-pointing black arrow, both inside a red-bordered triangle. The design clearly communicates the shift to a two-way traffic environment, improving awareness and reducing the risk of head-on collisions.
