Sheep Likely to Be in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 549 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Sheep Likely to Be in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 549 is a mandatory UK traffic sign that alerts drivers to the potential presence of sheep or similar livestock on or near the road. This sign is especially important in rural areas, upland routes, and moorland highways where flocks may roam freely across unfenced roads.
Designed in full compliance with TSRGD Diagram 549, BS EN 12899-1, and Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual, this sign is made using aluminium, composite, or self-adhesive sticker substrates with a high-visibility RA2 or R3B reflective face, ensuring maximum recognition in all lighting and weather conditions.
Available in the full range of standard UK triangular warning sign sizes — 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm — and supplied with channel rail fixings, plate-only, or self-adhesive backing, this sign is ideal for both permanent roadside installations and temporary deployments in seasonal grazing areas.
