Reversing Prohibited Unless Under Direction - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Restrict vehicle reversing in areas where it could create a safety hazard, unless the maneuver is supervised or guided by a designated person. Its primary purpose is to prevent collisions, property damage, or injuries by ensuring that reversing only occurs under controlled conditions. This is particularly important in busy work sites, construction zones, or areas with limited visibility.

This sign is typically placed in locations where vehicles frequently need to move in confined spaces, such as loading bays, construction sites, or warehouse yards. These are areas where blind spots, pedestrian traffic, or obstacles make unsupervised reversing dangerous. By indicating that reversing is only allowed under direction, the sign ensures drivers are aware they must follow guidance from a spotter or traffic marshal.

It is also useful in areas where heavy machinery, delivery trucks, or other large vehicles operate. In such environments, unsupervised reversing can pose significant risks to both operators and nearby workers. The sign acts as a clear warning to drivers that they must wait for proper instruction before performing a maneuver.

Using this sign in combination with site safety protocols, such as designated spotters, traffic controllers, or barriers, helps maintain a safe traffic flow and reduces the likelihood of accidents. Proper placement near entrances, exits, or tight corners ensures drivers encounter the warning before attempting to reverse, creating a controlled and safe operational environment.
