All of our signs designed for street construction and on-road use have a highly reflecting, highly visible face. Even yellow diversion and caution signs with guidance for drivers to safely travel through street works and construction sites are available in our selection.
The Most Common Types of Roadside Safety Signs
At Street Solutions, we often get asked "what are the different roads signs". Well, the signs that are usually seen on road works may be divided into four categories, each of which ensures that traffic is properly regulated. These can be seen on a regular roads, UK A roads and even on highways.
Orders that are written on signs
Motorists are often given commands via circular signs, such as to keep left, keep right, or make no right turn. They can also be used to enforce a speed limit zone or a no-entry zone. Blue signs are used to lead visitors around a location, and red highlighted signs are used to limit access, either by speed or by admission.
Warning Signs in the Shape of a Triangle
When approaching roadworks, these triangle signs are generally the first warning you'll notice; they're designed to warn drivers of an impending hazard; you'll usually see the most popular "men at work" sign surrounding roadworks. Most triangle road signs alert drivers about possible risks such as employees on the road, narrowing carriageways, and traffic congestion.
Information Signs in Red
These red signs educate both vehicles and pedestrians about things like where to stop and wait at temporary traffic signals, as well as where pedestrians should be walking. Some of them also indicate site entrances and exits so that drivers are aware that traffic will slow when cars enter and depart the site.
Signs that point towards the right direction
Finally, if there is a road closure, you should see yellow diversion signs indicating that the road will be blocked, how long it will be closed, and where you should travel during the closure. These detour signs usually appear near roadworks a few weeks before they begin, advising vehicles to take a different route if feasible to avoid delays.
