Speed limit sign visibility The visibility of the speed limit signs can vary considerably and is important to take into consideration. Drivers do not stop driving when it gets dark, and it is important to consider how reflective your signs will be during all weather conditions and times of the day. Installing speed limit signs is one of the most important steps you can take to improve the safety of vehicles on your premises. Increase this further by displaying additional road traffic signs that provide directions, convey instructions, or warn of hazards. Our signs are fully up-to-spec so come CE marked. You can be confident these signs will withstand the elements for years to come. The slowest areas use 5mph and 10mph signs- usually places like schools or car parks where pedestrians are in close-quarters at all times. Maintaining a low speed here is crucial as the risk for a collision is at its highest. These are usually used in conjunction with speed bumps to enforce this limit further. It is also important to ensure that every maximum speed sign is well maintained, as damaged or unmaintained signs may become unintelligible.

Safety signs are vital because they can help to prevent accidents and injuries. They can do this by:

FAQ's

Public areas, such as streets and city roads, require low-speed restrictions of 20- 30mph. This aims to reduce braking distance enough that pedestrians are at low risk of injury. For example, if you are more concerned about UV resistance in areas with high visibility and direct sunlight, then you should consider signs that are made of especially durable, UV-resistant material. However, if you know that a certain area has low visibility and will be used quite often during the early mornings, evenings or nights, it is important to prioritise highly reflective speed limit signs.

Additional material considerations It is also important to choose the right traffic sign material when selecting traffic signs for your area. Aside from how reflective the sign’s material is, you should also consider Extra Tough Anti-Graffiti Over Laminate for traffic signs. This additional coating will mean that any spray paint or marker pens used on the sign will be easily wiped off. It will also reduce the wear and tear caused by the weather. Areas designed exclusively for motors, such as carriageways, have a maximum speed limit of 50mph or 60mph, depending on the number of lanes. This can be shown either with the corresponding signs or a National Speed Limit sign.
