For any roadwork site using temporary traffic lights, clarity and communication are paramount—especially when lights are taken out of use. The Traffic Signals Not In Use Plate serves that exact function. When traffic lights are being serviced, repaired, or temporarily offline, this sign ensures all users of the road are properly informed and can proceed safely.
This product is manufactured using Zintec plate material, known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and harsh outdoor environments. The face of the sign is covered with reflective material to ensure high visibility even in low light or poor weather, making it suitable for both daytime and night-time applications.
Deployment is fast and versatile. It can be positioned as a freestanding plate or mounted on a Quick Fit frame depending on your operational setup. This flexibility makes it an essential part of the kit for traffic management crews responding to short-term outages or planned transitions in road signal systems.
Common use cases include:
- Road upgrades where signals are temporarily turned off
- Infrastructure repairs involving control cabinet access
- Replacement or recalibration of traffic light sequences
- Detour scenarios requiring control reassignment
- Temporary intersections lacking automated signals
Without proper signage, deactivated signals can create unsafe assumptions and erratic driver behaviour. This sign mitigates that by delivering a clear and understandable message. The wording and layout comply with UK regulations and industry best practice, reducing any margin for misinterpretation.
Incorporating this sign into your temporary traffic control plan ensures your road site remains compliant and professional. It helps build trust with the public and protects the safety of field personnel, particularly in sites where signal coordination is still being finalised or works are temporarily paused.
HERMEQ’s range is tailored for the UK market and supports the end-to-end delivery of traffic control projects from planning to execution. This plate, while seemingly simple, plays a critical role in managing driver expectations and preventing dangerous misjudgements during a vulnerable point in traffic system functionality.
