A road closed sign provides a clear warning that a road or route ahead is closed and that road users should not continue beyond the closure. Used for roadworks, maintenance, emergency situations and temporary traffic management, these signs help communicate closures and direct traffic towards an alternative route where required.
Road closed signs can be used alongside diversion signage, barriers, cones and other temporary traffic management measures to clearly communicate the closure to approaching road users.
At Foamex Printing Company, we print road closed signs for businesses, contractors, construction sites and traffic management requirements across the UK, with custom sizing and printing options available.
Key Aspects of a Road Closed Sign to Understand
A road closed sign clearly communicates that the road or route is unavailable to traffic. Depending on the traffic management arrangement, additional signs may be used to provide advance warning or direct drivers along a diversion route.
For example, a Road Ahead Closed sign can provide advance information about a closure further along the route, while diversion signs can guide drivers towards an alternative route.
Road closure and diversion signage may be required for roadworks, maintenance, emergency situations and other temporary traffic management arrangements. UK traffic guidance also covers the use of ROAD CLOSED and ROAD AHEAD CLOSED signs alongside diversion routes.
Our road closed signs can be produced in custom sizes depending on your specific requirements and intended application.
