Warning - Lorries - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Inform pedestrians, workers, and other road users of the presence or movement of heavy goods vehicles in a particular area. Their primary purpose is to reduce the risk of accidents, collisions, and injuries by highlighting that lorries may be entering, exiting, or operating nearby, which can create hazards due to their size, limited maneuverability, and blind spots.

These signs are typically placed at site entrances, junctions, loading bays, and areas where lorries frequently cross pedestrian or vehicle paths. Positioning them in visible locations ensures that anyone approaching the area is aware of the potential danger and can take appropriate precautions, such as slowing down, giving way, or keeping clear of the vehicle’s path.

They are particularly important in construction sites, industrial estates, warehouses, and areas with high lorry traffic. By providing a clear warning, the signs help pedestrians and workers remain vigilant, avoid unsafe zones, and prevent collisions with large vehicles.

Using Warning – Lorries signs in combination with other safety measures, such as designated pedestrian routes, barriers, and traffic management systems, enhances overall safety. Proper placement ensures that both vehicle operators and site users are aware of potential risks and can navigate the area safely.
