Loose Chippings Sign – Diagram 7009 | Temporary UK Traffic Sign
The Loose Chippings Sign – Diagram 7009 is a temporary UK traffic warning sign used to alert road users to newly laid road surfaces where loose aggregate may be present. Featuring a vehicle icon emitting debris, this red-triangle warning is vital in resurfacing zones to prevent accidents, reduce tyre damage, and discourage high speeds that could endanger others.
This sign is fully compliant with TSRGD Diagram 7009 and is referenced in Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual as essential for surface dressing works, re-chipping, or resurfacing using bitumen-bound materials.
Manufactured in RA1 (low-speed) and RA2 (high-speed) reflective classes, it is available in standard UK sizes. It comes on Zintec, GRP, composite board, 3mm plastic (RA1), 5mm plastic (RA2), and self-adhesive vinyl substrates. Mounting options include plate-only, riveted in frame, quick-fit, or self-adhesive backing for sticker use.
