wrong way sign

Entry denial marker

A wrong way sign is a traffic sign warning drivers they are entering a road against the direction of traffic flow, typically placed at highway exit ramps and one-way streets.

The rectangular sign displays "WRONG WAY" in white letters on a red background.

Ignoring one invites head-on collision: He missed the wrong way sign and drove into oncoming traffic.
