Railway Level Crossing Without Gate or Barrier Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 771 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Railway Level Crossing Without Gate or Barrier Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 771 is an essential component of UK road safety infrastructure. Designed to alert motorists of upcoming railway crossings lacking physical barriers or gates, this sign plays a critical role in reducing risk and encouraging careful driver behaviour in areas where trains can pass freely and without mechanical protection.
This red-bordered triangular sign features a bold steam locomotive icon, immediately recognisable and compliant with TSRGD Diagram 771. Its presence warns drivers to approach cautiously and be alert to potential hazards, especially at unmanned or automated crossings.
All our Diagram 771 signs are manufactured to the highest standards, meeting TSRGD, BS EN 12899-1, and Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual. Available in reflective RA2 or R3B sheeting, it ensures optimal visibility during low-light and adverse weather conditions. Substrates include durable aluminium, composite backing, or self-adhesive vinyl for both permanent and temporary installations.
🛠️ Mounting Options: Available with channel rail fixings, plate-only formats, or adhesive backing for versatile deployment. Sizes range from 450mm to 1500mm in all standard UK triangle dimensions.
🔧 Technical Review
Diagram 771 is identified by its striking black steam train silhouette on a white background with a red border — an iconic symbol indicating a level crossing with no gate or barrier. This sign is most often deployed in rural locations, minor roads, and any areas where the railway is unmanned or automated, helping reduce incidents by offering advanced warning.
