Risk of Grounding at a Railway or Tramway Level Crossing or Hump Backed Bridge Warning Sign – Diagram 782 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign

The Risk of Grounding at a Railway or Tramway Level Crossing or Hump Backed Bridge Warning Sign – Diagram 782 is a key UK traffic warning sign designed to alert drivers—particularly those operating long-wheelbase or low-clearance vehicles—of potential undercarriage contact on uneven road features such as level crossings or steep bridge gradients. This proactive alert helps prevent vehicle hang-ups, damage, or accidents in areas where the road surface is sharply contoured.

This triangular warning sign is fully compliant with TSRGD Diagram 782, BS EN 12899-1, and the design guidance in Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual. Constructed for durability and visibility, it features RA2 or R3B reflective sheeting to enhance visibility during nighttime or in adverse weather conditions.

Manufactured using aluminium, composite materials, or self-adhesive vinyl, the sign is available in six UK-standard triangle sizes from 450mm to 1500mm, and supplied with multiple mounting options: channel rail fixings, plate-only formats, or adhesive backing.

🔧 Technical Review
