signs must not be used to warn of the termination of a dual carriageway (see

sign to diagram 872.1 is used in advance of the start of the loss of the right hand lane at the 
distance specified in 
Table 4-2
, and repeated at half this distance. The second sign is not 
necessary if the 85th percentile speed is below 50 mph. Details of road marking layouts and 
tapers for climbing lanes can be found in Chapter 5 and TD 9 in Volume 6 of DMRB.
