Temporary roadway signs like this wicket-style display are critical for managing traffic during roadworks involving lane closures. These signs provide instant visual recognition of how many lanes are being closed, helping drivers make early decisions and reduce the chance of erratic lane changes. Ideal for motorway and dual carriageway applications, the sign comes in 2, 3, or 4 lane variations.
Constructed from metal and mounted on a wicket-style frame, these traffic road signs are portable, durable, and quick to deploy. Their clear format ensures that both motorists and contractors benefit from a more predictable traffic flow during active work zones.
- Multi-lane formats - Clearly marks which lanes will close and in what order.
- Wicket metal frame - Lightweight yet sturdy for reliable temporary use.
- Pre-closure placement - Helps reduce congestion and enhance merge zone behaviour.
- Standard UK format - Fully compliant with temporary traffic control regulations.

This closed road sign is best placed well before the lead-in taper or closure point. Used effectively, it enables contractors to manage motorway works, lane drops, resurfacing projects or rapid response repairs without causing undue disruption. Commonly used by Highways teams, civil engineers and utilities firms, it’s a recognised part of any Chapter 8 signage strategy.

Application:
This traffic sign is used in any location where lanes need to be closed temporarily but clearly communicated in advance. From multi-lane urban roads to major highways, these signs help enforce lane discipline and protect workforce zones.
- Clearly marks transitions from open to closed lanes across 2, 3, or 4-lane formats.
- Frames provide instant ground-level stability—no complex installation needed.
- Collapsible or portable options available for night-time or phased operations.
Typical use scenarios:
- Advance lane drop notifications on dual carriageways.
- Multi-lane closures during road surfacing or utilities trenching.
- Works where merge tapers follow a staggered lane closure.
- Emergency closures where early traffic separation is critical.
Construction & Compliance:
Each wicket sign is built to last, with galvanised or powder-coated metal for rust resistance. Their visibility can be enhanced with RA1 reflective sheeting for compliance with UK Chapter 8 temporary traffic signage standards. The clear spacing of symbols avoids misinterpretation, even at motorway speeds.
Deployment advice:
Position signs well before taper zones to give drivers ample time to merge correctly. Combine with cone patterns and buffer zones for best effect. Particularly suited to road contractors, Tier 1 infrastructure providers, and reactive maintenance teams working under lane closure permits.
Benefits:
- Avoids last-minute braking or weaving between lanes.
- Ensures compliance with TM regulations and H&S best practices.
- Portable and quick to deploy across multiple site locations.
- Prevents bottlenecks and improves safety for workers and road users.
