Cayman Islands Road Works Signage
Signs indicating road works and temporary conditions
11 signs in this category
Road-works signage warns of temporary hazards, lane closures and altered layouts at Cayman Islands construction sites. Conditions change quickly, so these signs demand extra attention and lower speeds.
Study tip: Temporary signs (often on a yellow background) override permanent ones. Watch for temporary speed limits and follow the direction of cones and workers.
End of road works and temporary restrictions
Marks the end of the road works and of every temporary restriction that came with them, including temporary speed limits. Normal limits and rules resume from here.
Loose chippings
Loose chippings on a freshly dressed surface ahead. Slow down and keep well back from other vehicles: flying stones crack windscreens and the loose surface gives less grip.
Mandatory speed limit ahead
A lower mandatory limit, here 15 mph, begins at the distance shown on the plate. Start losing speed now so you are at the limit when it takes effect.
Manually operated temporary SLOW sign
A hand-held SLOW paddle used at road works and incidents. Slow right down, be ready to stop, and expect the holder to turn it to STOP.
Manually operated temporary STOP sign
A hand-held STOP paddle used at road works and incidents: stop at the board and wait. Move on only when it is turned to SLOW or you are waved through.
Road works
Road works ahead. Slow down, obey the temporary signs and signals, and expect narrowed lanes, machinery and workers close to moving traffic.
Road works 1 mile ahead
An advance road works board giving the distance to the works, here one mile, often with the expected duration of delays. Use the warning to slow in good time or pick another route.
Slow-moving or stationary works vehicle blocking a traffic lane
A board on the back of a works vehicle blocking a traffic lane. Pass only on the side the arrow shows, slowing down and watching for workers around the vehicle.
Temporary hazard at road works
A worded panel flagging a temporary hazard inside the works, such as wet tar. Do what the words say, at reduced speed, until you are clear of the hazard.
Temporary lane closure
Shows which lanes are closed ahead, marked by red bars, and which stay open, marked by arrows, with the distance to the closure. Merge into an open lane in good time.
Warning sign in temporary traffic control zone
The orange diamond used in temporary traffic control zones, here warning of road work ahead. Orange signs take over from the normal layout for the length of the zone.
