Frequently asked questions

What does the 516 on this sign mean?

It is the TSRGD diagram number for the road narrows on both sides warning - the triangle drivers expect to see before a pinch point. Using the numbered diagram keeps your signing consistent with the Traffic Signs Manual.

Do I need ballast with it?

In exposed positions, yes. The Q-Sign has been wind tested and stays upright with the appropriate ballast - use ready-filled sandbags or the sign and barrier ballast weight.

Can one person set it up?

Yes. It weighs 6.9kg and the retractable stand is built in, so one operative can carry and place it without tools or clamps.

Why choose plastic over a metal-framed sign?

The frame is fully recycled polypropylene with no metal parts, so it does not rust, does not conduct lightning and has no scrap value to attract thieves if it stands out overnight.

How do these store and transport?

The A-frame folds flat to 60mm deep, so signs stack cleanly - 30 fit on a single pallet - and slide into a van between jobs.

Is it legal for use on public roads?

Yes, when set out correctly. It conforms to BS 8442:2015, the Chapter 8 Traffic Signs Manual, the Red Book 2013 and the TSRGD.

Can the sign face be changed?

Yes. Bespoke vinyl sign faces are available to order, so the same frame can carry a different message on a later scheme.
