Reviews
The sign is lightweight and straightforward to position on our traffic cones. Would have preferred slightly larger lettering, but it serves its purpose.
Good quality sign with bold lettering that's easy to read. Ideal for temporary pavement closures while maintenance work is taking place.
A clear and practical sign that helps direct pedestrians away from our work area. The wording stands out well and makes the alternative footpath easy to identify.
