This quick-fit road sign face displays diagram 7001, indicating Loose Chippings, combined with 7009.1, depicting Skid Risk/Maximum Speed 20mph
It is used when a road surface has been recently treated with a new surface dressing
While the surface dressing process aims to enhance skid resistance and prevent water penetration, the presence of loose gravel can create hazards
During this process, workers apply hot bitumen and roll in stone chippings to fill gaps, resulting in loose chippings remaining on the road surface
These loose stones can pose risks to road users by being thrown into the path of oncoming traffic or causing vehicles to skid
For comprehensive and accurate instructions regarding the usage and placement of this sign, it is recommended to refer to the government guidelines
Please note this product is for the sign face only, quick fit frames are sold separately
