Why Construction Traffic Signs Are Essential

Construction Traffic Signage plays an absolutely vital role in preventing accidents, managing traffic flow, and supporting construction firms with meeting their legal obligations. 

Under UK regulatory guidance, such as Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, temporary traffic management must be clearly communicated to road users. In doing so, this minimises the risk of road accidents and encourages traffic to take alternative routes, thereby decreasing congestion. 

The real cost of traffic control management signs isn’t the sign itself; it’s the potential downtime that can result from not displaying the sign. One near-miss incident can halt work for hours and trigger inspections. The right signs keep projects moving.

Types of Road Construction Site Traffic Signs Available

Within this range, you’ll find a vast array of design options. Regardless of your design requirements, we have you covered. Just some of our design types include:

Road works ahead signs

Temporary speed limit signs

Lane closure warnings

Diversion boards

Stop / Go traffic control signs

Pedestrian management signs

Plant crossing warnings

“Men at work” safety signs

Each design is created for maximum visibility and fast comprehension from a distance.

Material Options & Best Use Cases

We recognise that site managers will need to use these signs in different locations and conditions. In recognition of this, we have added a range of signage materials to choose from, ensuring we have a signage solution for all types of applications. Here’s a quick breakdown of our options to help aid your decision-making:  

Self-Adhesive Vinyl

For short-term usage only. Ideal for barriers, vehicles, and short-term use. Backed with a high-tack adhesive, they are quick to apply and remove. Should only be applied to smooth surfaces. 

Rigid Plastic (Viprint)

Lightweight and budget-friendly. Great for temporary works and mobile sites. Best suited for short-term projects, as they hold up well against consistent exposure to weather. 

PVC Foamex

A more durable signboard option, PVC Foamex is suitable for medium- to long-term outdoor use. Resistant to wind, rain and UV, it’s great for outdoor purposes. It's highly lightweight and easily installed at your site. 

Aluminium Dibond

Our most premium signage option available, Aluminium boards stay stable where plastic can flex. Built for long-term outdoor exposure, it’s great for high-wind areas and permanent fixtures. For most outdoor traffic management systems, we recommend Dibond as our default choice. 

Choosing the Right Construction Road Work Sign

When trying to understand which signage material option best suits your specific application needs, consider the following factors.

Duration of work 

Traffic speed

Weather exposure

Fixing method

Budget vs lifespan

Required visibility distance

What are construction traffic signs used for?

Our Construction Traffic Signs are designed to maximise site safety and minimise unnecessary risk of road accidents. They are also used to maintain smooth operational flow of traffic throughout your site.

Are road construction signs a legal requirement in the UK?

Yes. In most instances, construction traffic control signs are required under UK  Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) when working near public roads. Additionally, construction site traffic signs are highly recommended on private sites in order to ensure HSE safety standards are maintained.

Where should I place construction site traffic signs?

They should be placed at site entrances, junctions, highly pedestrianised areas and loading bays. Essentially, wherever traffic and pedestrians cross over, this is where these signs should ideally be positioned.

We offer several weatherproof signage options, including PVC Foamex and Aluminium Composite (Dibond). Both these options offer long-term resistance against outdoor conditions, including wind, rain and UV.
