WM6.2 is the lane reduction marking that warns that the traffic lanes are reduced from both sides.

What you must do

Change lanes in time if your lane ends. Check both blind spots, because another vehicle may also be changing lanes.

Where you see it

On a multi-lane carriageway (a roadway with more than one lane).

Remember

Lanes end on both sides, so check both blind spots.

WM6.1 warns that the lanes are reduced from the left. WM6.3 warns that they are reduced from the right.
