530 available headroom imperial sign face
The 530 sign tells drivers the available headroom under an overhanging structure, given in imperial units so they can judge whether their vehicle will clear it. It is typically post mounted as an advance warning, often paired with sign 530.1 (Overhanging Structure or Overhanging Building). This is the sign face only, made in the UK from 3mm aluminium composite with a Class 2 R2/RA2 high-intensity reflective surface, CE marked to BS EN 12899-1:2007 for permanent use on the public highway. Choose a 450mm, 600mm or 750mm face, post mounted or wall mounted.

Mounting and sizes
Post mounted sign faces are supplied with rear channels that clamp to the post with anti-rotational clips, so the face stays square once fixed. Posts and clips are sold separately. Wall mounted faces come with no holes - the aluminium composite drills easily for screw fixing, or can be fixed with a no-nails adhesive. Each size is available in either mounting option.
