UK's unknown road sign - Emergency Diversion Route

What is an emergency diversion route?
Short term learner insurance

Often you will see small yellow squares on uk road signs, and within those squares are an assortment of potential shapes, often a square, a triangle, a circle or a diamond. Whilst many UK drivers notice these signs they often don't know why they are there.

These symbols / signs are emergency diversion routes, in todays videos I will explain a bit more about that and give an example of how they might work in a real life situation.

Another good video, one quick question as you didn’t cover it in the video. Say for example the square there the filled in a bit filled in, is there any reason or difference or is it simply just a different diversion. Thanks

Are they made even for double deckers?

[loadapish]

I think i know the answer but do these diversions avoid low bridges? I drive deckers on the nightshift when theres a lot of closures and only just started doin trunking work

Got my test in crawley next week but I’ve never driven there, I’ve had other tests which I’ve failed in croydon and mitcham, will crawley be easier and will I need to know the roads before taking my test? Thanks
