Route for Use by Tramcars and Local Buses Only Sign – Diagram 953.1C | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Route for Use by Tramcars and Local Buses Only Sign – Diagram 953.1C is a mandatory UK road sign used to indicate that a specific route is reserved solely for tramcars and local bus services. This blue circular sign clearly displays a tram symbol above a bus with the word “local”, making it unmistakable for all road users and ensuring access is limited to permitted public transport vehicles.
Fully compliant with TSRGD Diagram 953.1C, BS EN 12899-1, and guidance in Chapter 3 of the Traffic Signs Manual, this regulatory sign plays a critical role in enforcing public transport priority zones, particularly in urban areas with frequent tram and local bus operations.
Available in RA2 and R3B reflective grades and manufactured from aluminium, composite board, or durable vinyl, this sign ensures long-lasting visibility in all lighting conditions. Mounting options include channel fixings, plate-only formats, and adhesive backing.
🔧 Technical Review
Unlike more generalised tram and bus access signs, Diagram 953.1C specifically restricts entry to local buses only, enhancing control over road access in sensitive areas such as pedestrian zones, city centres, and environmentally protected corridors. It is vital in enforcing traffic control measures and prioritising low-emission and public service vehicles.
