signs must not be used to warn of the termination of a dual carriageway (see
5.1
).

4.1.2. The signs may be supplemented by edge lines, hatched markings and hazard markers
to diagram 560. A supplementary plate “Oncoming vehicles in middle of road” may be used if
drivers are likely to be surprised by an oncoming vehicle (see
18.2.1
).
4.1.3. The sign to diagram 517 should be used in preference to 516 if the narrowing occurs
mainly on one side of the road. At the termination of a single carriageway climbing lane, the
alignment should place the onus on the overtaking driver to rejoin the nearside lane and the
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.
4.1.4. Where a road with two lanes in one direction, other than a climbing lane, narrows to a
single lane, or a road with a single lane in each direction narrows to a single track, an advance
