Maximum Headroom Available at Hazard Warning Sign – Diagram 530A | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Maximum Headroom Available at Hazard Warning Sign – Diagram 530A is a crucial warning sign used to inform drivers of height restrictions ahead—particularly at bridges, tunnels, underpasses, or overhead structures. Designed to prevent collisions and protect over-height vehicles, this sign ensures safer navigation for HGVs, buses, caravans, and construction vehicles across UK roads.
Compliant with TSRGD Diagram 530A, this sign adheres to the highest standards outlined in BS EN 12899-1 and Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual. It clearly displays the maximum clearance height in both metric and imperial units, accompanied by a downward-pointing black arrow symbol to emphasise the direction of the restriction.
Manufactured using durable aluminium, composite materials, or self-adhesive vinyl, and available with high-visibility RA2 or R3B reflective sheeting. Supplied in six UK triangle sizes (450mm–1500mm) and with mounting options including channel rails, plate-only, or adhesive formats for permanent and temporary installation.

Diagram 530A features a bold arrow above a dual height measurement, helping tall vehicle operators gauge whether their load can safely pass through an upcoming restricted-height area.
