Hazard and Line Marker Signs: Drive Left, Either Side and Chevrons

Hazard and line marker signs show the edge of the road, a bend or an obstruction. Pass on the side the arrows indicate, and slow down and take care around the hazard.

  • Arrows or chevrons point the way you should go.
  • A sign that shows both sides means you may pass on either side if it is safe.
