Diversion Sign - RT8

The diversion route sign in the UK is used to guide traffic around road closures and ensure that traffic moves in a different direction smoothly while following the designated route.

Featuring black-coloured geometric symbols, which can be a triangle, square, diamond, or circle, this diversion sign board has a yellow background. UK guidance confirms that diversion routes can be identified using black symbols on yellow backgrounds.

An easily recognisable diversion sign, these signs are used to direct motorists when a road is closed or when temporary traffic diversions are required.

For a diversion route sign showing a left or right direction on complex routes, text may also be required alongside symbols to ensure smooth traffic flow in the right direction.

Some Key Aspects to Know About the Diversion Route Sign

• Follow a Symbol System: Traffic personnel choose a symbol based on the road closures and use the designated traffic diversion sign to divert traffic.
  
• Consistency in Route: From the start of the diversion to the end of the diverted route, consistent signage helps reduce confusion and ensures a smooth flow of traffic. UK guidance emphasises the use of signs to help drivers navigate the diversion route.
• Shape Types: The different shapes are used to create a systematic flow of traffic, as drivers are required to follow the same symbol until the end of the route.
• Repeater Signs: The small yellow signboards with the same shape along a route reassure drivers that they are on the correct diversion route.

Material and Printing Specifications for the Diversion Route Sign in the UK

At Foamex Printing Company, we provide the diversion signs, road closed ahead sign, speed limit signboards made from aluminium, as they are used outdoors, and a strong signboard structure is essential to manage traffic flow.

With aluminium materials, we also use a sturdy mounting assembly that attaches the diversion sign board to a pole, ensuring it does not break in strong winds.

Generally, screw mounting is used as these signboards are used on roads, but there is also an option for self-adhesive mounting.

As for printing, we use high-quality inks to print the required geometric shape and colour, ensuring a fade-resistant finish.

Since our signboards remain sturdy enough to withstand all weather conditions, you can use the correct traffic diversion sign board to help direct traffic in different situations.

Key Features of Diversion Route Sign

• Adaptive Design: We use adaptive technology for our diversion signs, and they automatically adjust the brightness and contrast as per visibility.
  
• Reflective Coatings: Eco-friendly reflective coatings provide better visibility to the signboard which means people can see it from a distance and change routes correctly.
• Vandal-Resistant Material: We use stainless steel and cast aluminium that withstands tampering and daily wear and tear of the signboards.
  
• Multiple Applications: The diversion route sign we design can be used to guide traffic on different roads, around various zones and in different weather conditions.
