Frequently asked questions

When should this sign go out?

Whenever the running surface is temporarily slippery - fresh surface dressing, mud tracked from a site access, a spillage or a washdown area. It gives drivers time to slow before they reach the hazard.

Does it come ready to use?

Yes. The stand is built into the A-frame and retracts for transport, so there is nothing to assemble and no post or clamp to fix.

How do I stop wind tipping it?

The range is wind tested with ballast - sit ready-filled sandbags or the sign and barrier ballast weight over the frame in exposed positions.

Can it be left out on site overnight?

Yes. There is no metal to rust and nothing worth stealing for scrap, so it can stand through a scheme in all weathers.

How much room does it take in the van?

Folded it is just 60mm deep, and signs stack - 30 fit on a single pallet.

Is it approved for public highways?

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

Can I reuse the frame with a different message?

Yes - bespoke vinyl faces are available to order, so the frame can be re-faced for a future scheme.
