Why it works

Why footway crews use this Q-Sign

Warning before the works

Pedestrians see the closure coming and can cross or divert in good time, instead of turning round at the barrier.

Chapter 8 ready

Conforms to the requirements of BS 8442:2015, Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the Red Book 2013.

One pair of hands

At 5.3kg with a built-in retractable stand and no sharp edges, one operative sets it up in seconds.

Nothing worth stealing

Fully recycled polypropylene with no metal parts - it does not rust and holds no scrap value, so it can stay out overnight.

Out in all weathers

Non-conductive to lightning and wind-tested with the appropriate ballast weightings.
Overview

Footpath Closed Ahead 600 x 450mm Q-Sign - Overview

The Footpath Closed Ahead Q-Sign gives pedestrians advance warning of a closed footway, so they can cross or divert before they reach the works. The 600 x 450mm face stands on the Melba Swintex folding A-frame in fully recycled polypropylene - a 5.3kg one-person lift that folds flat to 60mm and stacks 50 to a pallet.

Frequently asked questions

Where should this sign be placed?

Ahead of the closure, facing oncoming pedestrians, so they have time to cross or take the diversion before they reach the closed section.

How is this different from a plain Footpath Closed sign?

The Ahead wording is the advance warning - it goes out before the closure point rather than at it, giving people the chance to change course early.

Can it be used on the public highway?

Yes - it conforms to the requirements of BS 8442:2015, Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the Red Book 2013 when set up in line with that guidance.

Do I need ballast with it?

The Q-Sign range is wind-tested with the appropriate ballast weightings - in exposed spots add ready filled sand bags or a sign and barrier ballast weight on the frame.

How many fit in a van or on a pallet?

Folded flat each sign is just 60mm deep, so they stack - a single pallet takes 50.

Is it really a one-person job to set up?

Yes - at 5.3kg with a built-in retractable stand, one operative can carry several at once and have each standing in seconds.

Can I order different wording on this size?

Yes - bespoke vinyl faces are available on the same 600 x 450mm frame, and our Custom 600 x 450mm Q-Sign takes your own wording.
