Two way traffic ahead

I am wondering if you could help me defining the sign in simple English.

Is the word traffic noun or adjective?

This is a regulatory sign not a written thing on a board.

    You're positive it's not two way? Commented Jul 4, 2014 at 17:46
  • "Tow way" doesn't make grammatical sense, unless there is a street called "Tow Way" and it is a high source of traffic. It seems more likely that it reads "two way".

Two-way traffic ahead means that there are vehicles ahead of you which are moving in two opposing directions.

You'd generally see this sign on a one-way road (on which vehicles move in only one direction) before transitioning to a road which has vehicles moving in opposing directions.

Here, traffic is a noun, referring to the moving vehicles. Two-way is treated as an adjective, qualifying the term traffic.
