The innovative Urban Sign System Base is a 15kg footplate designed for use with the Urban System Signs & Posts. This heavy-duty base is fitted with high-visibility plates to reduce trip hazards and can be stacked for greater stability. Posts can also be added. Signs & posts are sold separately.
The Urban Sign System Base offers a durable and environmentally conscious solution for mounting roadway sign posts across traffic management applications. Designed with stackability and safety in mind, it delivers superior performance for construction zones, public events, and urban guidance systems. Its recycled plastic construction, yellow hi-vis plates, and wind resistance classification make it ideal for varied environments and challenging conditions.
This sign base works with 300mm or 450mm centre posts, allowing users to mount quick fit and standard traffic road signs easily. As a modular base, it enables enhanced stability when stacked and eliminates the need for external ballast like sandbags. Its lightweight form simplifies handling without compromising on strength or compliance.

Purpose-built for use in busy urban, retail, and infrastructure zones, the Urban Sign System Base is a high-performance support for all temporary roadway sign installations. Each unit features embedded visibility strips to improve pedestrian safety and reduce trip hazards on crowded pavements or footways. Manufactured from black recycled PVC, the base is both rugged and environmentally considerate.
Compatible with HERMEQ sign posts, the system allows for 300mm or 450mm centre mounting. It’s ideal for:
- Street signage for local councils
- Temporary retail or pedestrian zoning
- Traffic road signs during events or detours
- Utility firm safety demarcation
Each sign base is designed to be stackable — up to 3 per post — for added weight and stability. When deployed as per configuration guidance, the system meets BS 8442:2015 and Chapter 8 wind class requirements. Based on rigorous wind tunnel tests, two bases are enough for high wind load signage (1050 x 750), avoiding the need for sandbags or ballast bags.
Combined with HERMEQ’s yellow posts and sign face options, this sign base system forms the most stable temporary signage setup available. Optional custom branding and corporate colour matching are available on bulk orders of 200+ units. This enhances public recognition or authority presence for construction firms, councils, or event operators.
Compact dimensions (Height: 118mm, Width: 395mm, Depth: 600mm) allow for simple transport and storage. When not in use, bases can be nested and secured efficiently, helping fleets reduce handling time. The solution also eliminates metal theft issues — perfect for repeat site use.
