Clear and consistent signage is essential when managing any temporary disruption to road access. Diversion signs are not only about directing vehicles but also about maintaining safety, managing expectations, and ensuring minimal delays across the network. These signs are indispensable for civil engineering works, public utility maintenance, emergency response, and traffic rerouting during events or closures.
Each diversion sign in this range is engineered to balance visibility, portability, and resilience. With a Zintec steel build, the frames are lightweight enough for fast setup yet strong enough to withstand high winds and repeated relocation. Road crews will appreciate the no-fuss design—ready to deploy straight from storage without additional equipment or mounting hardware.
Key options available include the classic black arrow on a yellow background for diversion indication, as well as signs indicating diversion ahead, left, right, and diversion ends. These allow traffic teams to build a consistent, easy-to-follow diversion route. The uniformity of signage language helps reduce driver stress and prevents mid-route confusion that can cause accidents or congestion.
These diversion signs are also ideal when used alongside other HERMEQ traffic control solutions. For example, pairing them with Traffic Cones helps establish clear lane separations, while Quick Fit Signs offer flexibility for reactive changes to layout or route instructions. Contractors managing larger areas can deploy Road Plates for heavier vehicles and surface bridging.

These signs are a core component of any temporary traffic management plan. Thanks to their robust materials and compliance with industry norms, they are suitable for repeat use across multiple sites. This long service life ensures excellent value over time while keeping operational standards consistently high.
Every element is purpose-built and thoroughly tested to ensure it performs in high-demand site environments. These signs also help companies meet regulatory obligations without delays or compliance issues. They can be stored compactly and deployed rapidly, streamlining logistics for ongoing and emergency projects alike.
