824 count down marker sign face - 200 yards
The 824 count down marker tells drivers there are 200 yards to the next exit or roundabout. It is the middle sign in the three-marker count down sequence, sitting between the 823 (300 yards) and 825 (100 yards) faces, and is a familiar sight on motorways and high-speed roads where drivers need early notice of an exit. The sign face is 700 x 1200mm, made from 3mm aluminium composite with a Class 2 R2/RA2 reflective surface, and is CE marked to BS EN 12899-1:2007 so it is legal on public highways.
Key features
-
700 x 1200mm sign face - 3mm aluminium composite with a grey rear.

-
CE marked - manufactured to BS EN 12899-1:2007 and UK highway regulations, legal on public roads.
-
Post or wall mounted - post versions come with rear channels for anti-rotational clips; wall versions are supplied plain for drilling or adhesive fixing.
-
Three colourways - blue and white, green and white, or white and black to match the route type.
-
Left and right versions - verge side (left) or central reservation (right) orientations.
Where it is used
- Motorway exits and slip road approaches
- Dual carriageways and high-speed A-roads
- Roundabout approaches where early warning is needed
- Private roads and estates with fast approaches
Choosing the right version
Pick the colourway to match the route: blue and white for motorways, green and white for primary routes, and white and black for other roads. Post mounted faces are supplied with rear channels and clamp to the post with anti-rotational clips, so the face cannot twist out of position - posts and clips are sold separately. Wall mounted faces arrive without holes; the aluminium composite drills easily or can be fixed with a strong adhesive. For a full count down run, pair this sign with the 823 (300 yards) and 825 (100 yards) faces.
