Temporary Road Signs

Temporary road signs are an essential piece of equipment that keeps drivers on the roads safe and informed about road works, construction, and maintenance happening around them helping them safely navigate the area. They can be used to convey warnings of upcoming hazards, such as workers on the road, or to provide direction around direct obstacles. They come in a variety of formats and materials, each with their characteristics and use cases; from plastic temporary signs to metal temporary signs, they all have their place.

About Temporary Road Signs

We offer a wide choice of different types of temporary signs, all portable and suitable for road works. This selection allows us to cater to almost all budgets and individual requirements. All of our signs intended for street works and on-road use include highly-reflective faces. Some of the key types include:

Temporary Metal Signs: These signs fit to steel frames using metal clips, and are one of the most common types of traffic signs seen on British roads.

QuickFit EnduraSign: Allows for interchangable faces. It has lightweight yet durable construction, a fold-flat design, and a strong plastic frame.

Cone Signs: A simple sign that can be hung over a conventional 1-metre or 750mm traffic cone. Ultra-compact and easy to store.

Folding Signs: Folding signs roll up when not in use to take up minimal space.

The importance of road works signs

Road works can be a dangerous place for both workers and motorists if traffic is not controlled correctly. Drivers need to be informed of obstacles and distractions that may be ahead, as well as narrowing lanes, workers in the road, diversions, and road closures.

There are strict regulations on the types of signs that may be used on the public highway, including in and around road works. All signage has to be the right size, reflective for improved visibility, and in good condition - as outlined in the guidelines in Chapter 8.

Every roadwork sign in our range is compliant with these regulations, as long as they are used as per the guidelines in the red handbook discussed above.

Failure to use the correct signage can leave workers and the general public in danger, should there not be sufficient warning for a driver to adjust their driving accordingly. By using the right roadwork signs you can ensure that you reduce risks and potential hazards.

We also have dedicated pages for permanent signs, post-mounted signs, and speed limit signs.
