Frequently asked questions

What does the 557 slippery road ahead sign mean?

It warns drivers that the road surface ahead may have reduced traction, for example after temporary road works or in poor weather. The skidding car symbol makes the hazard clear at a glance.

Is this sign face legal for use on a public highway?

Yes. It is CE marked to BS EN 12899-1:2007 with a Class 2 R2/RA2 reflective surface, which is the standard required for permanent signs on public highways as well as private roads.

Can I add a supplementary plate to show how long the hazard will last?

Yes. A supplementary distance or duration plate can be fitted below this sign face - it is sold separately from our supplementary plate range.

What sizes are available and which should I choose?

450mm, 600mm and 750mm. Larger sizes suit higher-speed roads and longer sight lines; smaller sizes suit estate roads, car parks and low-speed sites.

How do I fix the sign to a post?

Post-mounted versions come with rear channels that clamp to a 76mm post using anti-rotational clips, so the face is held firm and will not twist. Posts and clips are sold separately.

Can it be wall mounted instead?

Yes. Wall-mounted versions are supplied undrilled. You can drill the aluminium composite for screw fixing or bond it to a wall with a suitable adhesive.

What is the lead time?

These signs are made to order in the UK, with a typical lead time of 7-10 working days.
