{|class="wikitable" Schedule 12 General Directions
 * +Table 15.1 Directional Signs
 * Part 28
 * Prescribes complete signs that cannot be produced using any of the other Parts in the Schedule. These include new signs previously authorised for "tiger tail" junctions, where the left hand lane at a grade separated junction leads directly to the exit slip road and the adjacent lane may be used either to exit the junction or continue along the main line. There are versions of these signs for motorways and primary routes. A permitted variant allows these signs to indicate two diverging lanes separated by the hatched road marking, rather than a lane drop and a diverging lane. Another new sign is a dedicated lane sign to indicate a road layout where a single lane divides into two separate lanes. This sign would be used on the approach to a junction or on a large roundabout or gyratory system in advance of the point where the number of lanes increase. The map type sign previously prescribed as diagram 2601.2 in TSRGD 2002 may now be varied for use at any road/cycle route layout. For safety reasons it is recommended that this sign is not used to indicate a cycle crossing on an exit slip road close to the main carriageway of a high speed dual carriageway road. Other signs in Part 28 were previously prescribed in TSRGD 2002.
