Product Information

Blue rectangles are used to give information, except for on motorways where blue rectangles givedirections Most junction numbers in the UK increase or decrease consecutively. Don't take this as a hard and fast rule, though: some motorways skip junction numbers, often because there are (or were) plans to add in junctions at a later date. However, junction numbers aren't usually signed as you enter a motorway. This can be particularly confusing if you exit one motorway and switch straight onto another. After a junction, there will be a confirmatory direction sign on the side of the motorway. This is to remind you of where the road ultimately leads. Countdown markers on motorways It is emphasised that the provision of signing will be at the discretion of the roads authority, and that the amendments do not mandate any changes. It is also noted that the 2022 Regulations and General Directions are to include the savings provision detailed in the above section to ensure that any existing sign on the network will remain current for as long as it remains in place.

Reducing sign clutter was a stated aim of the revision of TSRGD in 2016, and these amendments are not believed to compromise this. The benefits, costs and other impacts of all TSRGD amendments are set against the scenario of not making these amendments. Benefits LEZ signs (new signs) The SSI prescribes two additional legends that can be used on the plate, as illustrated in Figure 12:Providing flashing lights to define pedestrian and cycle zones will have implications in terms of installation and maintenance costs. It has also been noted that regulation of these areas will be dependent on the lights working effectively. There’sa lot of road signs in the UK and it can feel a little overwhelmingwhen it’stime to revisefor your theory test. At the end of a section of motorway, the sign is the same as at the beginning, except that there will be a red line through it. This indicates that you're joining a different type of road. You might also come across a sign reading 'End of motorway regulation' as you come off the road into a service station. That means the facilities are situated beside a motorway, but motorway rules cease to apply there. Motorway direction signs

Brown rectangles are for tourist information. Always exciting when you’re on your way to a theme park and you see that brown rectangle telling you you’re nearly there!The new true yellow materials are less garish then the original yellow-green type and are much to be preferred. A new sign to indicate the exit from a low emission zone, incorporating the LEZ symbol. LEZ road marking As well as letting you know about imminent service stations, there are also signs that list the next few services along a route. This means you can make a judgement as to whether to stop at the next one, or carry on a bit further. If you make long journeys regularly, you'll soon work out your favourite stopping points. There are even national lists rating motorway services in the UK. Driver location signs Additional traffic joining from left ahead. Traffic on main carriageway has priority over joining traffic from right hand lane of slip road

This amendment is effectively a variation on existing signs, which define pedestrian only, or pedestrian and cycle only zones around fixed periods. The proposal enables the zone’s status to be defined by flashing lights, rather than be fixed time periods. Provisions within the 2022 Regulations and General Directions to ensure that existing signs already in place on the network will remain valid, even where they are superseded by the amendments. * Business and regulatory impacts are deemed to be negligible for the following proposals If you're a newbie driver, you must wonder why the "yards" sign exists. Well, to answer your question, these "yards" signs are actually referred to as countdown markers. These road signs exist to indicate how close you are to a particular point or area. The costs directly arising from the amendment are generally considered to be very low, noting that in most cases the changes to the regulations are fairly minor and, significantly, the amendments do not result in any mandatory changes to road signs. Provision of signs included within the amendment is at the discretion of road authorities.

Extension of the permitted plates to be used with Diagram 562 (triangular exclamation mark warning sign), enabling cyclists crossing and concealed accesses to be highlighted. Requirements for local facilities signing Diagram 2501 in Schedule 11 Part 2 of TSRGD 2016 indicates a distance to the next parking place ahead. The SSI makes an amendment to Schedule 11, allowing two distances to be displayed, as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10: Amended sign to Diagram 2501 indicating distances to two successive parking places My first question is why? Most uses of countdowns like this are on higher speed roads and warn of a rapidly approaching deceleration lane or other hazard. That is certainly not the case here. This is a 30mph single carriageway road in a residential area and there are several turnings off the road before the roundabout is reached. What is special about the roundabout as a hazard here? Of course, dangerous drivers might drive at high speed along this road and be caught out by the roundabout, but that could apply to any hazard such as a t-junction or pedestrian crossing. You don't normally see countdown markers for those.

Fluorescence can also be particularly effective in drawing attention to signs mounted in deep shadow, e.g. below overhanging trees. Like other direction signs in the UK, the ones on motorways are rectangular. That's because they provide information. Their job is to tell you about upcoming and imminent destinations, and give you instructions on how to get there. Most such signs are positioned by the side of the inside lane, so you will see them on the left as you're driving on the motorway. The amendment to this existing sign within TSRGD is relatively minor. The sign, which directs road users to “local facilities” currently has a threshold of requiring destination to provide parking, public toilets, refreshments and fuel during normal shop opening hours at least. It was recognised that this threshold is often not met by rural Scottish communities, yet these communities have potential to provide valuable services to road users, and also the opportunity to benefit economically from visitors. The most common motorway speed limit is expressed through the national speed limit sign. As motorways are dual carriageways, this is 70mph: the maximum speed of anywhere in the UK.
