Overview

Flood Footpath Closed Ahead 600 x 450mm Q-Sign - Overview

Flood water closes footpaths fast - this Q-Sign gets the warning out ahead of the closure so pedestrians divert before they reach it. The 600 x 450mm face sits on the Melba Swintex folding A-frame in fully recycled polypropylene, a 5.3kg one-person lift that stands on its own retractable stand.

Frequently asked questions

When would I use this rather than a plain Footpath Closed sign?

When flooding is the reason for the closure. Naming the hazard tells pedestrians why the path is shut and warns them not to chance it - useful when the water is out of sight around a bend.

Where is the best place to stand it?

At the last point people can divert - the junction or crossing before the flooded stretch - and ideally at both ends of the closure so nobody walks in from the far side.

Will flood water damage the sign itself?

No - the frame is 100% recycled polypropylene with no metal parts, so rain and standing water cause no rust or corrosion.

Is it legal to put on the public highway?

Yes - it conforms to BS 8442:2015, Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the Red Book 2013 when set up to the code of practice.

Does it need weighting down?

The A-frame is wind-tested with the appropriate ballast weightings. In exposed spots add ready-filled sand bags or a sign ballast weight - we stock both.

How heavy and how big is it?

5.3kg - a one-person lift. The face is 600 x 450mm and the sign stands 750mm tall by 620mm wide when set up.

Can I get other flood wording on the same frame?

Yes - bespoke vinyl faces are available for the 600 x 450mm frame, so tell us the legend you need.
