A quay is a constructed waterside platform or road area beside a river, canal, harbour or other navigable water. It may be used by ships, vehicles, workers, pedestrians and loading equipment.

It warns that the road approaches or leads onto a quay, riverbank or waterside edge where a vehicle could enter the water.

It may. The road may lead directly towards the water, turn sharply near it or continue alongside an insufficiently protected edge. Drivers must observe the actual road layout.

Reduce speed early, remain in full control and watch for the road edge, barriers, bends, workers, pedestrians and moving equipment. Avoid sudden steering or braking close to the water.

No. Drivers must follow the posted or general speed limit and reduce their speed further when the road is narrow, wet, poorly lit or close to an unprotected edge.

No. It normally warns of danger rather than prohibiting access. Additional signs, gates or local rules may restrict particular vehicles or activities.

No. Drivers must continue to follow traffic lights, priority signs and the normal priority rules.

This depends on local signs and regulations. Do not stop or park where the vehicle could create danger, obstruct traffic, interfere with loading operations or block emergency access.

Only in a clearly authorised and suitable place. Leave sufficient space from the edge, apply the parking brake securely and follow any wheel-positioning or local parking instructions.

Overtaking may be legal, but it should be avoided when the road is narrow, visibility is limited or the manoeuvre would bring the vehicle close to the waterside edge.

Water, algae, mud, ice, fuel, oil or material from loading operations may reduce grip. Painted markings, rails and metal surfaces may also become especially slippery when wet.

Drivers may encounter pedestrians, cyclists, dock workers, cranes, forklifts, railway tracks, mooring equipment, reversing trucks and unsecured edges.

Large vehicles need more space to turn and may have limited visibility close to the cab or trailer. Soft edges, narrow roads and nearby equipment can make manoeuvring more difficult.

Pedestrian access depends on local rules. Where pedestrians are permitted, drivers should expect them to move between vehicles, vessels, buildings and loading areas.

Reverse only when necessary and when the route is clearly visible. Use a guide where available and never rely solely on mirrors or cameras when the vehicle could approach the water.

Reduce speed, use the required lights and look carefully for reflectors, barriers, road edges and people. Water and dark surroundings can make the boundary of the road difficult to recognise.

Do not assume that the route is safe. Slow down, identify the road boundary and follow signs or instructions from authorised personnel.

Leave the vehicle as quickly and safely as possible, help passengers where possible and contact the emergency services. Do not re-enter the water or vehicle to recover belongings.
