This roadway sign provides an advance warning for drivers that temporary traffic signals are in operation ahead. Manufactured with a RA1 reflective surface on a zintec metal sheet and framed in robust angle iron, it ensures high visibility and compliance with UK traffic safety regulations. Sized at 750mm, it is a standard requirement for temporary traffic road signs used during roadworks or utility disruptions.
The triangular sign includes the Department of Transport’s approved symbol for 'Traffic Signals Ahead', guiding motorists to reduce speed and remain alert. These signs are a core component of traffic control systems used in narrow lane setups or where phased signals are required to maintain vehicle flow through restricted zones. Rapid deployment makes it ideal for both emergency repairs and scheduled works.

This traffic sign enhances worksite safety by notifying approaching vehicles that signal changes are imminent. It is especially important on roads where signal setups control one-way access through temporary narrowing. Site managers, highway contractors, and utilities teams use this sign to maintain order and control during potentially complex vehicle movements.
Ideal for integration into broader site plans, it complements Quick Fit Signs and Road Plates to build a complete traffic management system.

Most common deployments:
- Overnight or short-term utility digs requiring traffic lights.
- Rolling maintenance operations like hedge cutting or gully cleaning.
- One-way traffic control on rural and urban resurfacing jobs.
- Any work zone requiring motorist compliance via signal control.
This traffic sign is part of a structured approach to site safety. It allows drivers to prepare mentally and physically for signal changes, slowing down earlier and navigating with more caution. Such preparation can significantly reduce near misses, erratic braking or vehicle queue overshoots in temporary control areas.
Constructed for longevity, the zintec steel sign face is resistant to bending, cracking and weather-related wear. Its reflectivity conforms to RA1 classification for roadside signage, giving clarity in rain, fog or dusk settings. Compatible with HERMEQ-standard leg frames, it provides a uniform and repeatable setup across a fleet of signage deployments.
Maintenance contractors and local authorities alike rely on this warning signage to meet their duty of care obligations. As road safety continues to be a focus in both private and public works, using clearly marked traffic road signs like this ensures smoother operations and regulatory compliance.
