Reverse Turn sign

What to do

Slow down and be ready to steer one way then the other.

Slow down enough for the first turn and be ready to steer straight into the second one right after it.

Image shows W1-3R (first turn to the right).

Where it's used

Section 2C.07 says a Reverse Turn (W1-3) sign should be used instead of two Turn signs where two changes in direction go opposite ways and are separated by less than 600 feet of straight road. It is a black-on-yellow diamond whose arrow shows two sharp bends; the L or R version tells you which way the first turn goes. An Advisory Speed plaque is often mounted below it.

Don't confuse it with

• Reverse Curve: Reverse Curve uses gentle bends for curves above a 30 mph advisory speed, while Reverse Turn uses sharp right-angle bends for slower turns.
• Turn: The Turn sign warns of one sharp turn, while Reverse Turn warns of two in opposite directions.
• Winding Road: Winding Road is used for three or more changes in direction, not just two.
