Regulatory road markings

Mandatory Direction Arrows (RM11)

South African Mandatory Direction Arrows road sign (RM11)
Mandatory Direction Arrows — regulatory road markings used on South African roads.

Where

On any road before an intersection.

Purpose

To show that you may only proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow in your lane.

Action

Choose the correct lane in time to travel in the direction you want to go. Make sure that other traffic is obeying the mandatory direction arrows in their lanes. Check your blind spot before turning right to see that a vehicle in the lane next to you who is supposed to turn right (because of the mandatory right-turn arrow in his lane) is not carrying straight on.
