Other Danger Ahead Sign – Diagram 562 | Temporary UK Traffic Sign
The Other Danger Ahead Sign – Diagram 562 is a versatile UK temporary traffic sign used when no specific symbol exists for the type of hazard present. It features a bold black exclamation mark within a red-bordered triangle and is commonly deployed with an additional plate to indicate the exact nature of the danger—such as loose chippings, concealed entrances, or low-flying debris.
Fully compliant with TSRGD Diagram 562 and recommended under Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, this sign is essential when addressing unique or site-specific temporary risks not covered by standard warnings. It allows contractors, councils, and traffic managers to communicate critical, real-time danger clearly and legally.
This sign is offered in RA1 (low-speed) and RA2 (high-speed) reflective grades and manufactured using Zintec, GRP, composite, 3mm plastic (RA1), 5mm plastic (RA2), or vinyl sticker substrates. Mounting options include plate-only, riveted frame, quick-fit frame, and self-adhesive for sticker use.
