detour signs

Alternate route markers

Detour signs are traffic signs directing drivers to an alternate route when the normal road is closed or impassable.

They typically appear in a series, guiding motorists around construction, accidents, or other obstructions until they can rejoin their original route: Follow the detour signs until you're past the roadwork.
