Caution - Site Entrance - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Alert road users and pedestrians that they are approaching an entrance to a construction, maintenance, or industrial site. Its primary purpose is to warn drivers to slow down and be prepared for potential hazards, such as vehicles entering or exiting the site, construction equipment crossing the road, or changes in traffic patterns. By providing this advance warning, the sign helps reduce the risk of accidents and ensures safer interaction between site traffic and the public.

This sign is typically placed at the approach to a site entrance, often before any gates, driveways, or access points. It is especially important on busy roads, narrow streets, or areas with limited visibility, where drivers might not expect vehicles entering or leaving the site. Early warning gives drivers sufficient time to adjust their speed and be vigilant for turning or reversing vehicles.

It is also important in areas with frequent site activity, such as large construction projects, industrial facilities, or maintenance zones, where vehicles and machinery are in constant movement. The sign helps communicate that extra caution is needed, protecting both site workers and passing road users.

Using a Caution – Site Entrance sign in conjunction with other safety measures, such as speed restrictions or barriers, reinforces a controlled environment around the site. Proper placement ensures clear visibility from a distance, guiding traffic safely and preventing accidents at the interface between public roads and active work areas.

Powder coating is generally considered more eco-friendly than paint, however, the coating must be removed (Industrial Recyclers / Scrap Metal Facilities) before the aluminium can be recycled.

2mm PET: An excellent material for signage due to its high durability, impact resistance, and optical clarity. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering strong resistance to moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure. This makes it ideal for high-traffic areas or locations where hygiene and visibility are crucial. Additionally, PET is lightweight, easy to handle, and fully recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice for modern signage solutions.
