Ahead Plaque

Tells drivers that the warned condition is ahead rather than at a specific distance.

A supplemental plaque carrying the word AHEAD, mounted under a warning sign when a numeric distance is unnecessary or unknown. The fluorescent yellow-green background indicates the upstream sign warns of a pedestrian, bicycle, or school-related condition. Treat the warning as imminent and adjust speed and scanning right away.
