Why it works

Built for flood closures

Tells drivers the road is shut

The Flood Road Ahead Closed legend gives drivers a clear instruction, not just a warning, before they reach the water.

Compliant for the highway

Conforms to the requirements of BS 8442:2015, Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the Red Book 2013.

Out of the van in seconds

At 5.3kg with a built-in retractable stand, one person can have the closure signed the moment they set it down.

Built for wet weather

Fully recycled polypropylene with zero metal parts - flood water, rain and road spray cannot rust it.

Recycled and theft-resistant

Made from fully recycled polypropylene with no scrap value, so it can stand unattended overnight.
Overview

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

The Flood Road Ahead Closed Q-Sign closes a flooded route with a clear instruction rather than a warning. Its 600 x 450mm face sits on the Melba Swintex folding A-frame in fully recycled polypropylene - a 5.3kg one-person lift that folds flat to 60mm, stacks 50 to a pallet and takes no harm from standing in water.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the plain Flood warning sign?

The legend reads Flood Road Ahead Closed - it tells drivers the route is shut rather than warning them water is present, so it belongs at closure and diversion points rather than passable wet stretches.

Is it approved for use on public roads?

Yes - it conforms to the requirements of BS 8442:2015, Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, the Red Book 2013 and TSRGD when set up in line with that guidance.

What stops it blowing over in a storm?

The Q-Sign range is wind tested with the appropriate ballast weightings - in exposed spots add ready filled sand bags or a purpose-made sign ballast weight.

What are the overall dimensions?

The 600 x 450mm face sits on a frame 750mm tall and 620mm wide, which stands 700mm deep when set up and folds flat to just 60mm.

Can one person set it up?

Yes - it weighs 5.3kg, has no sharp edges and the retractable stand is built in, so it is free-standing straight out of the van.

How do the signs store between call-outs?

Folded flat they stack neatly, and a single pallet carries 50 - handy for depots that only bring them out in flood season.

Can I order the frame with a different legend?

Yes - bespoke vinyl sign faces are available across the Q-Sign range, on this frame or any other Q-Sign size.
