Where you see itMedians, traffic islands, obstructions in the road

What it means

An obstruction is ahead in the middle of the road. All traffic must pass on the right side of it.

What you should do

Move right early and pass the island or median on its right side. Do not swerve late; the sign is posted well before the obstruction for a reason.

Memory trick

The arrow bends around an invisible wall. Follow the bend.

The mistake drivers make

Drifting left of a small island because the lane "looks wider" there. Left of the island is oncoming territory.
