Frequently asked questions

When should the exposed excavation plate go out?

Whenever a trench or dig is open on or beside the carriageway or footway. It tells road users what the hazard actually is, rather than leaving a general works warning to cover it.

Does it meet UK street works requirements?

Yes - it conforms to Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, BS 8442:2015, the Red Book 2013 and the TSRGD when set out as part of a compliant layout.

Is this legend held in stock?

Yes - the exposed excavation plate is a stocked legend, so it ships without the made-to-order wait that custom-printed plates carry.

How does it cope with wind?

The Q-Sign range is wind-tested with ballast fitted. On exposed ground add polypropylene sand bags or the clip-on ballast weight and the sign stays standing.

What does it weigh and how does it store?

8.8kg per sign. It folds flat to 60mm, stacks between jobs and palletises at 30 signs to a single pallet.

Why plastic rather than a metal frame?

The recycled polypropylene frame cannot rust, does not conduct lightning and has no scrap value, so it can stay out on site overnight.

Can the frame carry a different face later?

Yes - bespoke vinyl sign faces are made to order, so the same A-frame can take another legend, arrow or distance plate for the next job.
