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. What are the laws for speed limit signs? When placing signs for speed limits and traffic control, it is important to be aware of the legislation in place for the signs. Particularly important are the sign dimensions and permissible variations. You can learn all about the latest variations through the UK government’s updated regulations on speed limit signage. 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. 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.

Reflective materials are used in many of our speed limit signs for increased visibility at night.

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. 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. A vehicle driving too fast is one of the greatest hazards at your place of work. Speeding vehicles have an increased risk of hitting other vehicles, property and pedestrians. Limiting and controlling the speed limit to a safe level using speed limit signs will reduce the likelihood of an accident, as well as the severity of injuries and damage if one does occur. Clearly displaying speed limit signs is a small step that can make a huge difference.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. The range of speed limit signs at Seton feature relevant wording and pictograms, and some will also include further information on the hazard involved and behaviour expected. When deciding where to place your maximum speed limit signs, always ensure that the signs are placed in highly visible areas for the drivers. Also, it is important to place the signs in such a way that drivers are given ample warning. For example, drivers will need time to prepare for speed bumps or pedestrian crossings and the signs advertising such warnings should not be placed directly over speed bumps and crosswalks. 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. It is also important to ensure that every maximum speed sign is well maintained, as damaged or unmaintained signs may become unintelligible.
