Where You'll Find This Sign

Right lane continuation signs during right lane additions are positioned on Ireland's major road network where slip road integration creates permanent additional capacity including M50 Dublin ring road junction approaches, M1 Belfast corridor expansion areas, major dual carriageway junctions, and other locations where merging traffic from slip roads becomes a permanent additional through lane.

These configurations create seamless integration between junction access and through traffic capacity while maintaining traffic flow efficiency.

What This Means for Drivers

This sign indicates a two to three lane expansion where the new lane joining from the right continues as a permanent right lane beyond the merge point.

This configuration transforms merging slip road traffic into additional through capacity.

Drivers should understand that the right lane becomes a continuing through lane supporting both merging traffic integration and additional capacity provision.

This design optimizes both junction access and through traffic flow while creating permanent infrastructure improvements.

Penalties & Legal Consequences

No direct penalties apply to right lane continuation notifications, but inappropriate behavior during permanent expansion areas may result in violations: €80-€200 for dangerous driving affecting expansion traffic flow, enhanced penalties for blocking new right lane establishment, potential serious charges for aggressive driving preventing capacity expansion efficiency.

Enhanced enforcement may occur at major junction expansion areas with monitoring of traffic flow integration and lane establishment patterns.
