Road Sign 21

The variation and differences in road signs, especially on private land like this one, is so wide we could write about it for years to come. This particular road sign is double-sided (back to back).

Built using heavy-duty 11g aluminium these are built to last. With a layer of reflective white vinyl directly on top of the aluminium and then the black and yellow vinyl on top, this road sign will stand out in daylight and at night.

Road Sign 20

Many road signs are very plain and just show the name of the road. Occasionally you will see city road signs that have the name of the local district council or perhaps the county council.

This one that you see in the image to the right, is a bit more inclusive, and has the extra information of the numbers of the houses in the cul-de-sac or that side of the street.

You will also note a road sign symbol on this road sign. This is the dead end symbol, a useful addition to a road sign.

Road Sign 19

Road signs tell us everything we need to know, or could possibly want to know, about the road ahead of us. Many of them are red warning signs, triangular in shape, telling us of something in the road ahead.

Road sign sizes tend to be standardised, 600mm in width, and usually placed on poles. However that is not always the case, and sometimes we have to place them elsewhere. This one, a double-sided zebra-crossing warning sign, is placed on the safety barrier.

Primary School Sign 40

An elegant primary school sign that is a combination of various kinds of signs. It is clearly a type of corporate sign (the Horsenden logo and the Ealing council logo), and manufactured from a type of heavy duty 11g aluminium.

This is also another kind of sign, a useful kind – a road sign as you can see from the bottom detached section, the pedestrian symbol and the vehicle symbol.

This is also a double-sided sign, held firmly in place by two anodised aluminium poles.

Road Sign 18

A great pic of a newly installed traffic road sign, looking very authoritative and direct.

One thing to note about this sign, as with all road signs, is that it has a reflective coating on it so vehicles approaching it at night with their lights on can see it very clearly.

This sign is constructed using heavy duty aluminium for both the sign itself and for the pole.

This is a traffic sign but in a private area, but clearly it uses the standard road sign symbology. The material used is aluminium composite with vinyl text laid over the top.

The road signs themselves are reflective, something you tend not to notice, and forget about, during daylight hours, and have vinyl text and graphics applied on top.
