Gates Sign – Diagram 554-C | Temporary UK Traffic Sign
The Gates Sign – Diagram 554-C is a temporary UK traffic warning sign used to alert road users to the presence of gates across the roadway ahead—commonly in rural, farm, or maintenance areas. The red-bordered triangle contains the word “Gates”, clearly indicating the need to slow down and prepare to stop if the gate is closed or operational.
This sign is fully compliant with TSRGD Diagram 554-C and recommended within Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual for temporary hazard indication. It plays a vital role in maintaining safety near agricultural access points, emergency gates, or worksites with controlled vehicle entry.
Manufactured in RA1 (urban, low-speed) and RA2 (rural, high-speed) reflective grades, the sign is available in multiple sizes and made from Zintec, GRP, composite boards, 3mm plastic (RA1), 5mm plastic (RA2), or self-adhesive vinyl. Mounting options include plate-only, riveted-in-frame, quick-fit, or sticker adhesive.
🔧 Technical Review
Diagram 554-C is used to highlight vehicle access gates that could obstruct road users or cause delays. It is critical in agricultural regions, private lane works, and council-maintained rural access where operational gates are temporarily installed across public routes.
