Over the last six months we have put together in-excess of a dozen or so applications for full and partial road closures for a variety of reasons i.e. sighting of large cranes, jointing into sewer systems in the centre of the road, lay down of new services etc

We have supplied detailed drawings out lining what is required such as signage and where they will be sighted

A new employees has joined the local council highways department, only now he is asking for in our documents to show exactly the sign to be used.

Well I have down loaded some but need more j-peg pics of road signs can you help my eyes as going blurred trawling through the web trying to find the right signs does any one know of a good web site or CD with all the road traffic signs I would ever likely to need or use

Thanks for any help

the average motorist / pedestrian would not recognise half a dozen signs nor adhere to any of them

we recently had a wheel chair user stuck in blacktop because they had disregarded the signs and moved barriers

Just feel lucky that this was not picked up earlier.

Your detailed drawing should always have specified sign, additional wording when relevant and location in any case. The requirement had been overlooked by previous officers.

There is a good package available now to do these layouts, the following is typical

and many contain all the standard signs you are likely to require.

thanks for all this information

as i said before drawing up a plan and identifying the type and where to place has been ok but now they would like a picture of the sign on the plan where it is to be placed and any wording appropriate

which i have done but not with a picture

thanks again

Merlin - OK some of the responses underestimated your ability but I am pretty sure that people are trying to help. If you DO CARE to look at some of the sites mentioned and determine the cost (or not) of using images it may be the answer.

Or - as I have been forced to do in the past design your own little drawings based on the "proper" signs.

Not totally accurate but OK - last word of warning - beware anything that isnt included in TSRGD (DfT) - they may not be allowed
