What Does Divided Highway Ends Sign Mean?

A “Divided Highway Ends” sign is a warning traffic sign designed to alert drivers that the divided highway ahead will transition into an undivided roadway.

Characteristics:

• Shape: Typically diamond-shaped with a yellow background and black border.
• Symbol: Two opposing black arrows, one pointing up and the other pointing down, with a broken divider line between them.
• Placement: Positioned on the right side of the road before the end of the divided highway section.

Purpose:
