Warning people of hazards: Safety signs can warn people of potential hazards in the workplace, such as slippery floors, moving machinery, or hazardous chemicals. Warning signs can help people to take the necessary precautions to stay safe.

Informing people of safe procedures: Safety signs can also inform people of safe procedures to follow in the workplace. For example, they can remind people to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hats, safety glasses, and gloves. 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.

Use speed limit signs in conjunction with speed bumps and other traffic calming solutions to further enhance their message. Reflective materials are used in many of our speed limit signs for increased visibility at night.

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. The other class available is Class RA2 which is the ideal choice for low visibility or high-risk areas. Class RA2 is a special engineering grade of reflectiveness that is three times as reflective as Class RA1. This is the ideal choice for areas that receive a lot of traffic during low visibility hours. High-quality design: Our sign features the standard "Transport" font used for UK road signs, ensuring consistency and familiarity. 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. 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.

Safe speed limits for vehicles will go a considerable way to preventing vehicle accidents on your premises and reducing the severity of injuries if they do occur. Using speed limit signs as part of your traffic management strategy will also help improve the flow of vehicles on your premises, minimising confusion and maximising workplace efficiency. All of the signs that Seton manufacturers are available in two different reflectivity classes. The first is Class RA1 while is the standard option for reflective signs. Class RA1 provides a high level of performance for everyday use. 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. Safety signs are vital because they can help to prevent accidents and injuries. They can do this by: 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.
