Permanent Warning Road Signs - Post Mounted

Traffic warning signs form one of the most commonly seen permanent road signs. These are mostly triangular signs with a red border. Their primary function is as the name suggests to provide a warning. This could be in the form of an upcoming unusual road feature or potential distraction.

By warning the driver prior to the obstacle the risk of accidents is reduced. Often these signs that include symbols will be accompanied by a supplementary plate which will give further details. These details may indicate how far away the hazard is, or for how long it persists.

Although these warning triangle road signs are mostly seen on main roads, they can also be found in car parks and industrial estates. Warning signs indicating the position of speed bumps, or pedestrian crossings are very common in these locations.

Although it looks like a picket fence ahead warning sign, it actually indicates that there is a level crossing with a barrier or gate ahead.

Low Flying Aircrafts Sign

Diagram 558

This sign depicting an aircraft at what appears to be an unhealthy angle is not a warning to expect an air disaster, but a warning that low flying aircraft may cause excessive noise, and prove to be a distraction.

Supplemented Warning Sign

An exclamation mark, it is obviously a warning, but the sign includes no further details. Thankfully this sign is always accompanied by a supplementary plate such as “hidden dip” to give further information.

Give Way Ahead Sign

This sign has no image at all, what it does indicate is that there is a junction with a give way or stop line ahead. It is accompanied by a distance indication.
