Ramp Meter Ahead Signs
A Ramp Meter Ahead (W3-7) sign is used to inform drivers that they are approaching an entrance ramp with a traffic signal or metering system designed to regulate the flow of vehicles merging onto a highway or freeway. The sign alerts motorists to be prepared to stop or slow down and follow the signal indications, which helps maintain a smooth and safe flow of traffic on the main roadway.
