Wild Horses or Ponies Likely to Be in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 550 | Permanent UK Traffic Sign

The Wild Horses or Ponies Likely to Be in Road Ahead Warning Sign – Diagram 550 is an official UK traffic warning sign used to alert motorists to areas where free-roaming horses or ponies may be present on or near the road. This sign is especially important in open countryside, moorland, and heathland areas such as Dartmoor, Exmoor, and the New Forest where animals roam freely without fencing.

Fully compliant with TSRGD Diagram 550, BS EN 12899-1, and Chapter 4 of the Traffic Signs Manual, this permanent traffic sign is available in RA2 or R3B reflective finishes for enhanced visibility. Constructed using robust aluminium, composite, or adhesive substrates, the sign is built to withstand harsh UK outdoor conditions year-round.

It is available in all UK-standard triangle sizes — 450mm, 600mm, 750mm, 900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm — and can be supplied with channel fixings, as a plate-only option, or with self-adhesive backing, offering maximum installation flexibility for permanent or seasonal use.
