Road Sign Posts

Road sign posts come in a variety of diameters and heights to suit a range of applications; these include 76mm posts which are popular in most car parks and along slower roads, and larger posts used on motorway slip roads and dual carriageways. When buying a sign post, always remember that you need to allow for a good section of the post to be buried in the ground, ensuring the wind cannot blow the post over in a storm.

About Road Sign Posts

At Start Safety we work with a variety of road signpost manufacturers, allowing us to offer the very best prices and a selection of posts in common diameters and lengths.

We are one of the few companies in the UK that hold stock of common permanent road signs. This means that most speed limit, roundabout, and car park signs are available off the shelf, with a post. This allows you to quickly install new signs, or repair damaged signs.

Types of road sign posts

Standard straight posts: These are the most common type of post you will see on the road around the UK. They are available in an array of diameters and are the same diameter from the ground up.
Wide base posts: These posts have an expanded lower section which allows for an access panel. These are used when lighting or other electronics are required on the post.
Passively safe posts: These posts break away when impacted by a car, they have to do so in a safe manner that reduces the risk to passengers and other vehicles.

Materials and finishes

Most locations require standard steel signposts, but there are some areas where aluminium posts are used - these tend to be powder-coated. Aluminium sign posts work just the same as steel posts but are lighter and more corrosion-resistant.

Sign post accessories

Depending on the installation you may need signpost accessories such as:

Post caps: These are used to prevent water ingress into the top of the post. There are various versions of these available, some of which include lighting fixtures.

Sign clips & sign fixings: These come in different sizes to suit the diameter of the post.

Base plates: Buried into the ground, these secure the post and prevent rotation during and after installation.

Sign faces: These could be considered an essential accessory as posts are unhelpful without traffic signs affixed to them. We work with major sign manufacturers to offer a wide range of sign faces and styles.
