What it means

What does the narrow bridge sign mean in NSW?

NARROW BRIDGE is spelled out in two lines of black capitals across the middle of a yellow diamond, with no picture. It warns of a bridge where two vehicles can pass, but only just. There is less room for error than on the road either side, and a truck or caravan coming the other way takes up much of the width. Slow down and sit well to the left.

What to do

  1. 1

    Ease off before the bridge, not on it.

  2. 2

    Keep well left and watch for oncoming vehicles.

  3. 3

    Hold a steady line across, with both hands on the wheel.
