Road Works Sign – Diagram 7001 | Temporary UK Traffic Sign
The Road Works Sign – Diagram 7001 is the most widely recognised UK temporary traffic sign, used to warn motorists of roadworks ahead. Featuring a worker with a shovel in a red-bordered triangle, this sign alerts drivers to slow down and proceed with caution through work zones.
This sign is fully compliant with TSRGD Diagram 7001 and mandated in Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual. It is essential for any type of road maintenance, surface dressing, utility works, lane closures, or roadside activity requiring a visible and enforceable warning.
Available in RA1 (for low-speed roads) and RA2 (for high-speed roads) reflective classes, the sign is produced on Zintec, GRP, composite board, 3mm plastic (RA1), 5mm plastic (RA2), or self-adhesive vinyl. Mounting options include plate-only, riveted-in-frame, quick-fit frames, and self-adhesive backings (for sticker versions).
Technical Review
