Ramp Ahead - Class RA1 - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

The "Ramp Ahead" sign is used to alert drivers that a ramp, such as an entrance or exit ramp to a highway or freeway, is coming up soon. This advance warning allows drivers to prepare for merging, slowing down, or changing lanes safely, helping to prevent last-minute maneuvers that could lead to accidents.

One important reason to use this sign is to improve traffic safety. By notifying drivers early, it reduces sudden lane changes or braking as vehicles approach the ramp, which can cause collisions or disrupt the flow of traffic. It gives drivers enough time to adjust their speed and position smoothly.

The sign also helps maintain efficient traffic flow by allowing vehicles entering or exiting the highway to merge more safely and predictably. When drivers are prepared for the ramp, it minimises bottlenecks and congestion around these key points where traffic streams intersect.

Finally, the "Ramp Ahead" sign supports clear communication and compliance with road regulations. It is part of a standardised system of road signs designed to guide drivers safely through complex road layouts. Proper use of this sign contributes to safer, more organised driving conditions on highways and major roads.

Materials Explained

Any product outside of our standard choice of material/size range starts with a 5. This may include items such as rolls of tape, sign frames, floor graphics or banners. Below you can find a more detailed description of the miscellaneous material options available for this sign design.

Class RA1: Manufactured from 3mm aluminium composite with an engineering grade retroreflective sheeting to ensure visibility during day and night. This reflective layer helps headlights bounce light back to drivers, making the sign readable in low-light conditions and offers approximately a 7 years lifespan. Aluminium composite is a lightweight, durable material which holds no scrappage value - reducing the potential for theft. 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.
