Slow Wet Tar roadway signs play a vital role in traffic management on freshly surfaced roads. Their core function is to communicate the need for reduced speed to passing vehicles, preventing damage to unset materials and minimising risks on active worksites. In construction zones, particularly during resurfacing or repair works, immediate and clear communication with drivers is essential. These signs serve as a front-line measure in controlling traffic flow and ensuring site safety.
Manufactured using Zintec steel and applied with high-visibility 3M reflective sheeting, these traffic road signs are durable, weather-resistant, and built to withstand prolonged exposure to the elements. The high intensity finish enhances visibility both day and night, which is critical in maintaining awareness in varied conditions. Road contractors, local councils, and traffic control professionals benefit from these robust signs, helping them meet compliance standards while managing traffic effectively.
For operational flexibility, the signs are available with or without frames, making them suitable for a variety of on-site applications. Whether deployed on rural roads, busy urban worksites, or temporary lane closures, they provide a consistent and recognisable warning that helps reduce liability, maintain surface integrity, and uphold public safety. They integrate seamlessly with other signage and barriers used on-site, contributing to a professional and secure work environment.
Their simplicity and effectiveness make them a standard requirement across resurfacing jobs and public highway projects. With a focus on durability and communication, these signs provide a dependable solution for professionals managing dynamic and high-risk work areas.

Popular Industry Uses:
- Highway resurfacing crews rely on these roadway signs to manage post-tarmac laying procedures.
- Local councils use them for temporary road works involving bitumen applications and surface dressing.
- Traffic contractors use them across utility works and emergency repairs involving fresh surfaces.
- Event organisers apply them for temporary traffic diversions where resurfacing coincides with event setups.
These signs are especially valuable in environments where temporary tarmac needs time to settle without interference. In high-traffic zones, this can be critical for the success of roadworks. They act as a passive deterrent, prompting drivers to slow without the need for enforcement or personnel intervention.
Supplied with optional frames, the sign can be adapted to various mounting preferences — whether inserted into existing traffic cones or mounted on portable stands. This versatility supports dynamic traffic control operations, particularly where work zones shift across days. As part of a complete traffic road signs kit, this product aligns with safety standards and integrates effectively with barriers, cones, and quick-fit signage in HERMEQ’s wider catalogue.
