Warning signs

Road narrows on left ahead

Road narrows on left ahead sign

What it means

The road loses width on the left just ahead: a kerb build-out, a bridge parapet, or the nearside lane running out. Watch for cyclists and parked cars being squeezed towards you. Hold back rather than accelerating through the gap, and give anyone on two wheels the room they had before it narrowed.
