Cattle Grid Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 552 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Cattle Grid Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 552 is an official UK road warning sign used to inform motorists of an upcoming cattle grid—a device installed on rural roads to prevent livestock from crossing while allowing vehicles to pass. It ensures drivers approach with caution, especially motorcyclists, cyclists, and those in low-clearance vehicles.
Manufactured in full compliance with TSRGD Diagram 552, BS EN 12899-1, and Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual, this traffic sign is available in aluminium, composite, or self-adhesive sticker substrates. It is designed for durability and high visibility with RA2 or R3B reflective sheeting, ensuring safe recognition both day and night.
It is offered in all standard UK triangular sizes — 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm — and can be supplied with channel fixings, as plate-only, or self-adhesive, suitable for both permanent and temporary installations.
