Road and Highways Signs

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

A question that we get asked over and over by our customers is when do I need to use highway regulations for my signs? The simple answer is, if its on the high way not a private road you have to have the highway standard lettering and reflectivity.
Temporary signs are best on the standard stanchions (frames) we have four main types, firstly a single sided stanchion which holds a 450mm x 600mm sign, secondly a double sided stanchion which holds two 450mm x 600mm stanchion, thirdly we have a stanchion which holds a 600mm x 600mm sign and lastly we have the large 1050mm x 750mm stanchion. These stanchions all come with clips free of charge and can hold upto a 3mm thick panel.
Luton airport used the large stanchion sign for a ’snow plough in us’ directional sign. Chester Zoo use their stanchions for guiding visitors in the busy summer months from the high way onto their car parks.
