Keep left reminder signs may be useful at locations where other reminders are not suitable, or where driving on the wrong side of the road would be particularly dangerous, such as locations where drivers would not be able to safely return to the correct side of the road or turn around after starting to travel on the wrong side. See Table 13‑2 for signs to remind drivers to keep left on two-way roads and when turning at intersections or when exiting driveways. 

Table 13‑2: Keep left reminder signs
