956 cycle and pedestrian route sign face for shared-use paths
The diagram 956 sign is a blue circular face that marks a shared-use route where pedestrians and cyclists travel together with equal right of way. It should be positioned at the start and finish of the route, with repeater signs at regular intervals along the way. If the route is segregated into separate cycle and pedestrian sections, diagram 975A and 975B signs should be used instead. Manufactured to BS EN 12899-1:2007 and UK highway regulations, CE marked, with Class 2 R2/RA2 high-intensity reflectivity. Each face is 3mm aluminium composite, available in four sizes for post or wall mounting.

Sizes and mounting
Four face sizes - 300mm, 450mm, 600mm and 750mm - each available post mounted or wall mounted. Post-mounted faces are supplied with rear channels that 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 come with no holes - the composite drills easily for screw fixing, or bonds to the wall with a suitable heavy-duty adhesive.
