Warning signs

Dual carriageway ends ahead

Dual carriageway ends ahead sign

What it means

The two carriageways are about to become one road with traffic coming the other way. You usually meet it where a bypass drops back to a single carriageway. Lose speed before the taper, move into the left-hand lane in good time, and do not try to squeeze past on the outside as the lanes merge.
