Product Information

Having bashed my head against the wall trying to get Portsmouth City Council to understand how to use speed limit signs before, I wasn't going to bother. Instead one day I decided to tweet Hampshire Police, apologising for wasting their time with pedantry, but explaining that if I could spot the problem then a lawyer could too. Despite my informal choice of channel, the offending sign was gone two days later, with a reply thanking me.

Motorways in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland aren’t obliged to have them. If you break down, are involved in an incident, or see a vehicle in trouble, you can call the relevant authority and relay the information on the distance markers. The first number refers to the road you're on, and the second line will be either an A or a B, which indicates which way you're travelling. Finally, the third line tells you how far you are from a given location. If you’re anything like us, you’re probably wondering what on earth ‘adverse camber’ means. It means the road is sloped to help drain away water. But as the big lorry on this road sign suggests, this does mean there’s a risk of lorries overturning.Blue rectangles are used to give information, except for on motorways where blue rectangles givedirections

The SSI prescribes a series of signs, indicating countdown markers to the commencement of a speed limit. This sign had previously been subject to blanket authorisation throughout Scotland for some time, but was not formally prescribed prior to the amendment. The signs are most commonly used on approach to a town or village, where the speed limit is reducing from the national speed limit applied on rural roads. A less garish way of increasing a sign's conspicuity is simply to provide a standard sign of larger size.First up, let’s break it down to what the different shapes and colours of road signs mean. Generally, road signs will fit into these three common shapes. Triangle road signs New symbol for use on direction signs, to indicate locations where motorhomes and campervans can be serviced (water, toilet etc). Amendments to existing signs Additional warning sign legends * Rectangle signs are generally giving you information of some kind. Examples include parking restrictions, directions and bus lanes. A new sign to indicate the entry to a low emission zone, incorporating the LEZ symbol, and advising that cameras are in operation for the purposes of identifying contraventions of LEZ schemes. LEZ repeater sign Others are placed on gantries—bridge-like structures—above the road. These ones often tell you if you need to be in a certain lane for a specific destination. For example, if a lane is going to merge into an exit road, there would be a sign to tell drivers that the left lane is only for traffic destined for the next junction. It would direct vehicles heading to other places to move into one of the right-hand lanes. Keeping an eye on direction signs helps avoid dangerous lane-switching near junctions, and reduces the build-up of traffic around certain routes. Motorway junction signs
