The Water Course Alongside Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 555.1A is a crucial UK traffic warning sign used to alert drivers that a canal, river, ditch, or other open watercourse runs directly parallel to the road. This specific diagram variation provides enhanced clarity in environments where vehicles could easily veer into water, particularly in narrow lanes or rural areas with no protective barriers.

It features RA2 or R3B reflective sheeting to maximise visibility in darkness, fog, or rain.

Available in the full range of UK-standard triangle sizes — 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm — and supplied with channel fixings, as plate-only, or self-adhesive, this sign is ideal for permanent or temporary water hazard warnings.
