W9 Series — Lane Ends / Divided Highway Warning Signs

The W9 Series includes warning signs for lane-ending and divided-highway transitions. W9-2 (LANE ENDS) is widely used in California work zones at the downstream end of a lane reduction taper to reinforce the merge for drivers who missed the upstream W20-5 series advance warning. It is also used at permanent lane drops. W9 signs complement the W4 and W20-5 series in lane-closure sequences.
