Slow-Moving Military Vehicles Likely to Be Crossing or in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 582 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign
The Slow-Moving Military Vehicles Likely to Be Crossing or in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 582 is a specialised UK warning sign used to alert drivers to areas where armoured vehicles, tanks, or other military convoys may enter or travel along public roads. It is especially important near MOD training grounds, military depots, and rural routes near active bases where slow or heavy vehicle crossings occur frequently.
This sign is fully compliant with TSRGD Diagram 582, BS EN 12899-1, and Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual. It is manufactured from high-quality aluminium, composite substrates, or long-lasting self-adhesive vinyl. For maximum visibility, the sign is finished with RA2 or R3B reflective sheeting, making it suitable for day and night use in all weather.
It is available in all standard triangle sizes used across the UK — 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm — and offered with a choice of channel fixing rails, plate-only format, or adhesive backing to suit your installation preferences.
Technical Review
Diagram 582 displays a bold silhouette of a tank within a red-bordered warning triangle. Its distinct imagery ensures instant recognition and serves to notify drivers that military vehicle traffic, which may be significantly slower or larger than standard road users, is likely to be encountered.
