Traffic Control Ahead - Class RA1 - Temporary - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Warn drivers that they are approaching an area where traffic is being regulated by signals, stop/go boards, or other traffic management devices. This advance notice gives drivers enough time to prepare to slow down, stop, or follow instructions, ensuring a safer and smoother transition through controlled zones.

One key reason for using this sign is to enhance safety by preventing sudden braking or confusion near the control point. When drivers know in advance that they will need to stop or yield, they can adjust their speed gradually and pay closer attention to the upcoming traffic controls, reducing the risk of accidents.

The sign also helps maintain efficient traffic flow in areas such as construction sites, temporary roadworks, or places with variable traffic patterns. Clear advance warnings help avoid bottlenecks and confusion by giving drivers time to react appropriately, which minimises delays and congestion.

Finally, It supports orderly movement and communication between road authorities and drivers, contributing to overall road safety and better traffic management.

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.
