Frequently asked questions

What does the 523.1 sign show?

Diagram 523.1 warns of a steep downward gradient ahead, marked 10% so drivers can judge the descent and adjust speed and gear in good time.

Is 10% the only gradient available?

This listing is set to the 10% gradient shown on the sign face. Other gradients are made to order - contact us if you need a different percentage and we will confirm what's possible.

What size sign should I choose?

Available in 450mm, 600mm and 750mm. Faster or higher-traffic roads generally need a larger face for drivers to read it in time.

Are the post and clips included?

No - this is the sign face only. Post mounted faces have rear channels already fitted; the 76mm galvanised post and two anti-rotational clips per sign are sold separately.

Can this be wall mounted instead?

Yes. The wall mounted option arrives undrilled - the aluminium composite face is easy to drill for screw fixing, or it can be fixed with a no-nails adhesive.

Is it certified for use on public roads?

Yes. Every size is CE marked and made to BS EN 12899-1:2007 and UK highway regulations, with Class 2 RA2 reflectivity suitable for public highways and private roads.

What's the lead time?

7-10 working days across all sizes and mounting options.
