Traffic direction control plates are ideal for car parks and entrances. They control the direction of vehicles by only allowing them to pass in one direction. These surface-mounted traffic direction control plates are easily installed by being bolted down to existing road surfaces, removing the need for an excavation of the road surface to install.
HERMEQ surface-mounted flow plates are engineered to control traffic direction in car parks, access points, and vehicle entrances. Designed to deter reverse travel, these steel traffic control plates allow vehicles to move in one direction only, creating a secure and predictable access flow.
The flow plates are particularly well-suited to environments where sub-surface excavation is impractical. Their bolt-down design enables rapid deployment on concrete or tarmac. The built-in spring mechanism ensures that the plate returns to an upright position after being depressed by a vehicle tyre.
- Surface fixed design – Avoids ground disruption and simplifies installation.
- Inbuilt spring hinge – Automatically resets to vertical to block reverse movement.
- Heavy duty steel – Durable enough for regular use by cars and LGVs up to 7.5 tonnes.
- One-way deterrent – Physically enforces a mono-directional traffic flow.
- Low-profile housing – Minimises wear on vehicle tyres while providing effective control.
These direction control plates are a practical solution for enforcing traffic direction without costly infrastructure or moving parts. They are commonly used at multi-storey car parks, fleet depots and business forecourts.

What are surface-mounted flow plates used for?
They control the direction of vehicle traffic by only allowing passage in one direction. Commonly used in car parks and exits.
Are these flow plates suitable for heavy vehicles?
No. These are designed for cars and light goods vehicles only (max 7.5 tonnes).
How are the plates installed?
They are bolted directly onto existing road surfaces, requiring no excavation or groundwork.
Do the plates make noise?
These flow plates include spring-loaded actions that minimise clatter, but speed control measures should be used to reduce impact sound further.
