Move to Right (Two Lanes)

Move to Right (Two Lanes) signs appear on Irish two-lane dual carriageways and motorway sections where entire carriageway alignment shifts rightward to accommodate left-side construction.

Common on M7, M8, and other two-lane motorways during left-side median works, on N roads during major construction requiring left-side dedication, and at barrier reconstruction sites where traffic must shift right to pass work zone.

These indicate both lanes continue but in shifted rightward position compared to normal alignment.

Found where left-side work requires dedicating normal left lane and possibly central area while maintaining two-lane capacity using temporary right-shifted alignment potentially utilizing hard shoulder area.

Both lanes must shift rightward as entire carriageway alignment moves right to accommodate left-side work while maintaining two-lane operation.

Reduce speed to 60-80 km/h and follow temporary lane markings carefully as road position shifts.

Both drivers regardless of current lane must move right proportionally - left lane becomes positioned where center or center-right normally is, right lane moves to far-right possibly on or very near hard shoulder.

Two lanes continue so reasonable capacity maintained though positioning is unfamiliar.

Enhanced attention required as hard shoulder edge is in unusual proximity.

Continue following shifted alignment until normal position restoration is indicated.

Failure to follow mandated two-lane rightward shift results in lane violation charges: €80-€120 fines with 2 penalty points if continuing in former position now occupied by construction.

Speed violations through shift zones result in €160-€400 fines with 2-5 penalty points, typically doubled for unfamiliar alignment risks.

Poor lane discipline in shifted configurations causing encroachment results in enhanced prosecution.

Collisions due to failure to follow shift signage result in full liability recognizing clear warning provided.

Two-lane shifts are extensively used on Ireland's two-lane motorways making familiarity with this configuration essential regardless of shift direction.

Two-lane carriageway shift requirements are covered in Irish theory tests as common temporary configuration on two-lane motorways.

You must recognize that both lanes shift right proportionally while maintaining two-lane capacity in different alignment.

Theory questions test understanding that two-lane shifts maintain reasonable capacity unlike lane closures, recognition of unfamiliar hard shoulder proximity, and appropriate speed adjustments.

Practical assessments on two-lane routes evaluate ability to follow temporary markings, maintain positioning in shifted lanes, and adapt to altered edge proximity.

Understanding that rightward shifts have identical requirements to leftward shifts demonstrates readiness for Ireland's most common motorway temporary geometry modifications.
