Choosing a size

Temporary signs should be placed well before the work zone so drivers can adjust speed and position. Signs on frames or stands must be large enough to read from a moving vehicle; on slow private roads, A2 or A1 panels are often workable, while busier roads need the formats set out in the SARTSM.

Standards and compliance

Temporary traffic control in South Africa is covered by the SA Road Traffic Signs Manual (SARTSM), which includes a dedicated volume on temporary signs, typically using yellow-backed signs for roadworks. Work on public roads requires approval and an accommodation-of-traffic plan from the road authority. The customer remains responsible for the traffic plan and legal requirements; we print to the artwork or specification supplied or agreed.

FAQs

Do you supply sign frames or cones?
We print the sign panels. Frames, stands and cones should be sourced separately unless confirmed when ordering.
Is correx strong enough for roadworks signs?
Correx is suitable for short-term use in low wind. For repeated or longer use, aluminium-backed signs last better.
Can signs be reflective?
Yes, subject to reflective stock. Reflective faces are strongly recommended where work continues into the evening.
Can I use these on a public road?
Only within an approved traffic plan from the relevant road authority.
