1. Why is the Class RA1 material essential for this sign?
The Class RA1 material (Engineering Grade reflective sheeting) is essential because it ensures the sign is highly visible both during the day and at night. By reflecting light from vehicle headlamps or ambient light, it prevents pedestrians from missing the directional cue, especially during low-light hours or in heavy traffic areas, minimising the risk of them straying into unsafe zones.
2. Where should the 1050 x 750mm sign be installed?
The large 1050 x 750mm size is best installed at key decision points, such as the beginning of a major pedestrian diversion or on busy access roads within a worksite. The increased size ensures maximum visual impact and legibility from a distance, giving pedestrians ample time to see the instruction and safely change direction.
3. Is this sign suitable for public road diversions?
This sign is commonly used for temporary works and on private land/site traffic routes. While the design follows UK traffic management guidelines, its deployment on a public highway should only be done in accordance with the relevant local authority or Department for Transport (DfT) permissions and regulations for temporary traffic orders.
4. How does this sign improve safety on a construction site?
This sign is critical for site safety by actively separating pedestrians from vehicle movements and construction hazards. It prevents people from walking into zones affected by roadworks, machinery operation, or temporary closures, reducing the risk of collisions or other accidents.
5. What mounting hardware is recommended for this sign?
Since the sign is manufactured with rear channeling, it is designed for secure post mounting. Recommended hardware includes steel posts and accessories like anti-rotational clips and saddles, which provide a stable attachment and prevent the large sign from twisting in windy conditions (mounting hardware must be purchased separately).
