40 MPH Speed Limit Sign – Diagram 670-C | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The 40 MPH Speed Limit Sign – Diagram 670-C is a mandatory UK road sign used to enforce a legal maximum speed limit of 40 miles per hour. Displayed as a bold black “40” within a red-bordered circle, this sign is highly recognisable and vital for maintaining safe driving conditions on single carriageways, village approaches, or transitional speed zones.
Compliant with TSRGD Diagram 670-C and detailed in Chapter 3 of the Traffic Signs Manual, the 40mph sign is ideal for roads where reducing speed improves safety without restricting traffic flow entirely. It’s a key part of local authority road strategies and developer-led infrastructure projects.
Available in RA1 and RA2 reflective grades, the sign is produced in multiple sizes using Zintec, GRP, composite, 3mm or 5mm plastic, or self-adhesive vinyl. Installation styles include plate-only, riveted frame, quick-fit, or sticker applications.
