As part of our road sign range, we are pleased to offer one of the widest selections of permanent road signs for sale in the UK. Our signs are the perfect solution for anyone who needs to quickly find and purchase permanent signs for car parks, main roads and even motorways.

All of our signage is manufactured to strict standards ensuring they meet or exceed all requirements of the traffic signs regulations. This ensures that you get a quality, CE marked product that will stand the test of time and most importantly will meet reflectivity standards.

Our permanent signs use genuine 3M materials that are fully weatherproof perfect for long term outdoor use.

Warning Signs

Warning road signs are normally triangular with a red outline, they offer an advanced warning to drivers of upcoming obstacles, harsh turns, or potential distractions. Supplementary plates can be used to accompany these signs for further information, or an indication of the duration of which the warning applies.

Regulatory Signs

Regulatory signs are mostly circular and can be thought about as “signs that give orders”. These instructions could be to “give way”, “stop” or even set a maximum speed limit. One of the most common permanent signs that we sell is the no entry sign, that falls into this category.

Informatory Signs

Permanent informatory signs are mostly blue in colour and as the name suggests, are there to inform road users. They can provide a countdown to a junction, or inform drivers where they may find parking or a layby.

Direction Signs

These signs are generally very specific to an area and can include road names, directions to a business park, or indications of where to find the nearest zoo.

Permanent Signage Reflectivity Grades

By default on our website, any permanent signage will be supply in a grade RA2 reflectivity unless specified otherwise. This allows us to fulfil orders faster and meets or exceeds most peoples requirements.

If you do need a different grade we are still more than happy to help, we have several grades of reflective materials, with a selection of overlays to choose from.

Reflectivity Grades:

• Class RA1 - Advanced Engineer Grade Prismatic (AEGP), suitable for cycle routes and street names. AEGP returns around 16% of light to a driver.
• Class R2 / RA2 - High-Intensity Prismatic (HIP) The most common grade used on road signs. HIP returns 32% of light to the driver.
• Class R3B - Required where other light sources such as shops and street lighting are present. This material returns 58% of light to the driver.
• Class R3C - Specifically targeted at HGV drivers where the headlamp units are located far lower than the driver. This is the best in class reflectivity and should be used for HGV specific signage, for example, height restriction signage.
