Learn More 🚀The Worded Warning Sign – Diagram 554 is a unique UK traffic sign used to deliver a specific written warning within the standard triangular red border. In this case, the word “Ford” is used to alert drivers to a road section that passes through a shallow stream or watercourse, known as a ford. This type of sign ensures clear and direct communication of hazards where symbolic signs may be inadequate.
Fully compliant with TSRGD Diagram 554, BS EN 12899-1, and Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual, this permanent sign is manufactured using aluminium, composite, or sticker-based substrates, with a highly visible RA2 or R3B reflective finish for superior performance in all lighting conditions.
Available in the full suite of UK triangular sizes — 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm — and supplied with channel fixings, plate-only, or self-adhesive backing, this sign is versatile for permanent installations in rural, flood-prone, or natural areas.
The Diagram 554 sign displays black worded text (“Ford”) inside a red-bordered triangle. It is designed to be unmistakable and easy to understand, ensuring drivers are prepared for water on the road surface and proceed with caution.
