The green direction sign is for traffic heading towards the M1 and west and north Belfast via the outer ring. The yellow diamond (right) (normally left uncovered) is officially described as “Where, in an emergency, it is necessary to close a section of motorway or other main road to traffic, a temporary sign may advise drivers to follow a diversion route. To help drivers navigate the route, black symbols on yellow patches may be permanently displayed on existing direction signs, including motorway signs. On all‑purpose roads, the symbols may be used on separate signs with yellow backgrounds”. They are opposite the Boucher Road. See also Image
