Temporary Road Signs: What You Need to Know & Buy

March 27, 2025 /Posted byWebsite Team / 351 / 0

When roadworks disrupt normal traffic flow, public events draw large crowds, or emergency situations necessitate immediate traffic management solutions, temporary road signs become utterly indispensable. In the UK, the safety of road users and pedestrians is not just a consideration; it’s a legal and ethical imperative. At Morelock Signs, we understand this responsibility profoundly, which is why we provide a comprehensive range of high-quality, TSRGD-compliant temporary road signs, available for purchase, designed to meet the most demanding circumstances.

Why TSRGD Compliance Matters for Temporary Road Signs: A Matter of Life and Law

Adhering to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) is not merely a suggestion or a ‘best practice’ – it’s a legal necessity. These regulations are meticulously crafted to ensure that all road signage, including temporary signs, communicates clear, unambiguous, and standardised messages to drivers and pedestrians.

Using non-compliant temporary road signs can lead to severe legal repercussions, including fines and potential liability in the event of accidents. More critically, it can endanger lives. Non-standardised signs can confuse drivers, leading to misinterpretations and potentially hazardous situations, especially in high-stress environments like roadworks or emergencies.

All our road signs are meticulously crafted to meet these stringent TSRGD standards. We understand that every detail, from the reflectivity of the material to the exact dimensions and symbols used, is crucial for both legal compliance and, more importantly, road safety. We invest heavily in quality control and rigorous testing to ensure that our signs not only meet but exceed these standards.

We offer a diverse selection of these signs designed to address various scenarios:

  • Road Closed & No Entry Signs: Essential for preventing access to restricted areas, safeguarding public safety. Click here to browse these signs.

Visibility and Durability: Key Features of Our Temporary Road Signs:

Our temporary road signs are engineered for maximum visibility and durability. We utilize high-grade reflective materials (RA1, RA2, R3) to ensure visibility in all lighting conditions. Constructed from robust materials like aluminium and durable polymers, our signs are designed to withstand the UK’s challenging weather conditions. This ensures that your road signs remain effective throughout their deployment.

We understand that temporary road signs are often required at short notice, especially in emergency scenarios. Our Company prides itself on our ability to produce and deliver these signs quickly, ensuring that roads are made safe promptly. We maintain a streamlined production process, allowing us to respond swiftly to urgent requests, minimising delays and maximising safety.
