Detour Left

Construction or closure detour route turns left here.

Posted in a temporary traffic control zone, this marker directs drivers along a detour route that bends to the left. It is used where the normal roadway is closed for construction, an incident, or a special event, and is typically repeated at each decision point so motorists can follow the alternate route to its end.
