Wide turn signs are vehicle decals that warn caution wide right turns. They alert other drivers that the long vehicle must swing into the left lane before turning right.
The "right hook" accident, where a car tries to pass a turning truck on the right and gets crushed is common. This sign specifically warns drivers to stay back and not enter that dangerous blind spot, which is reinforced by frequent stops signs.
It should be placed on the rear of the trailer, ideally on the right side, so it is directly in the line of sight of any driver attempting a right-side pass.
High visibility colors (black on yellow or orange) and clear graphics (showing a truck turning with a car crossing out) make the message instantly understandable even without reading the text, which is key for quick recognition.
Yes, they come as permanent adhesive decals for owned fleets, or magnetic signs for temporary use. Some also include "wide right turns" text for added clarity.
While long trucks mean more carrying capacity, they also mean wider turns. Ensure that trucks are given the proper amount of room by posting Wide Turn Signs. Alerting drivers to wide turns also help prevent trucks from damaging cars or property.
