Golf Course
The sign indicates direction to the golf course
When You See This Sign
When you see the H20 sign you know there is a golf course in the indicated direction. Adjust your speed, be prepared for side traffic, and follow the arrow or any supplementary distance plates if present.
Rules & Regulations
- H20 is an orientation/service sign indicating the direction to a golf course — it is an informational sign, not a prohibition, warning, or yield sign.
- The sign does not change traffic rules: it does not affect speed limits, right-of-way rules, or priority. Follow other applicable traffic rules and signals at intersections.
- The sign may be supplemented with an arrow or distance information. Follow the arrow for direction and note any additional plates indicating distance or special instructions.
- Applications such as parking, entrance to the course, or passage for golf trolleys/buggies are governed by separate traffic and parking signs — H20 only provides guidance to the location.
Tips for Drivers
- Reduce speed and be attentive when approaching a sign directing to a golf course — it may indicate traffic turning off or entering from an access road.
- Watch for pedestrians, cyclists, and golf buggies at the golf club entrance; they may move slowly and cross the road.
- If you plan to turn into the golf course, signal in good time and position yourself in the correct lane early to avoid sudden lane changes.
- Keep in mind that such signs often appear near recreational and rural areas — be extra vigilant on weekends and during the summer when traffic may increase.
Common Mistakes
- Believing that the sign gives you priority or changes right-of-way rules — it only shows where the golf course is located.
- Assuming it's permitted to stop or park at the sign — parking rules are governed by other signs.
- Confusing H20 with a warning sign and overreacting, instead of treating it as a purely informational sign.
