Road Works - Class RA1 - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Road Works signs are essential for alerting drivers and pedestrians that construction or maintenance activities are taking place on or near the roadway. These signs warn of potential hazards such as lane closures, machinery, workers, and altered traffic patterns, helping road users to anticipate changes and navigate safely.

They should be installed at the beginning of the road works zone and at intervals along the site, ensuring clear visibility and adequate warning for approaching traffic. Placement is critical on both urban and rural roads where roadworks could impact normal traffic flow.

Using these signs enhances safety by reducing the risk of accidents involving workers and vehicles, and by helping to manage traffic efficiently around the work area. They also inform drivers to reduce speed and exercise caution, protecting everyone involved.

Overall, Road Works signs are a vital part of temporary traffic management, helping to maintain safety and order during essential maintenance or construction activities.

It is weather and rust resistant - overall, RA1 signs are designed to be durable, weatherproof, and highly visible to ensure the safety of road users around temporary worksites.
