10 mph Speed limit sign - 3mm Aluminium sign 300mm x 200mm

Product Information

Easy installation: Suitable for wall or wooden fence mounting, our sign can be effortlessly positioned in the most effective location. California: On freeways with limits of 65 or 70 mph (105 or 110 km/h), spacing is to be no more than 25 miles (37 km) apart. Where the freeway speed limit is reduced to 55 mph (90 km/h), Speed Limit signs are to be no more than 3 mi (5 km) apart. On conventional roads, the maximum spacing between Speed Limit signs is no more than 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km). Safe speed limits for vehicles will go a considerable way to preventing vehicle accidents on your premises and reducing the severity of injuries if they do occur. Using speed limit signs as part of your traffic management strategy will also help improve the flow of vehicles on your premises, minimising confusion and maximising workplace efficiency. The other class available is Class RA2 which is the ideal choice for low visibility or high-risk areas. Class RA2 is a special engineering grade of reflectiveness that is three times as reflective as Class RA1. This is the ideal choice for areas that receive a lot of traffic during low visibility hours. Warning people of hazards: Safety signs can warn people of potential hazards in the workplace, such as slippery floors, moving machinery, or hazardous chemicals. Warning signs can help people to take the necessary precautions to stay safe.

Extended Text Description: Figure 4. Example Regulatory Speed Zone Application Showing Spacing of Signs Transitioning from Rural District to Urban District and Within the Urban District. The bottom section of the figure represents the rural district, and the top section of the figure represents the urban district. A road runs from bottom to top with decreasing speed limit signs with intervals/spacing of 0.2-0.5 miles. Starting at the bottom in the rural district, the first sign says "Speed Limit 55". The next sign moving up the figure is a yellow diamond sign with the text "Speed Limit 40" with an arrow ahead, indicating that the new speed limit ahead will be 40. 0.2-0.5 miles ahead of the yellow diamond sign is the actual speed limit sign which reads "Speed Limit 40". At this point the road transitions into an urban district. The first sign moving into the urban district, 0.2-0.5 miles from the rural district, reads "Speed Limit 35" which is repeated three times, 0.2-0.5 miles apart, followed by the final sign, which reads "Speed Limit 30".)

(Source: Adapted from the Texas Department of Transportation. 19) It is also important to ensure that every maximum speed sign is well maintained, as damaged or unmaintained signs may become unintelligible. The slowest areas use 5mph and 10mph signs- usually places like schools or car parks where pedestrians are in close-quarters at all times. Maintaining a low speed here is crucial as the risk for a collision is at its highest. These are usually used in conjunction with speed bumps to enforce this limit further. There are exceptions, however, and many speed limits depend on the type of vehicle. For example, most vans are only allowed to travel at 60mph on dual carriageways and 50mph on national-speed-limit single carriageway roads. As well as this, caravans of any type are only allowed to drive at 30mph in built-up areas.

points or 7-28 days disqualification and a penalty of around 100% (between 75% and 125%) of your weekly income, applies to more serious offences: For everyone else, speed limits are a maximum, not a target, and a lower speed may be more appropriate depending on the road layout, traffic and weather conditions. In 2013 the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) introduced a speed awareness course specifically tailored to speeding offences in 20mph limits where, at the discretion of the police, offenders who are either "mistaken or simply unaware of the limit" would benefit from education. Penalties A vehicle driving too fast is one of the greatest hazards at your place of work. Speeding vehicles have an increased risk of hitting other vehicles, property and pedestrians. Limiting and controlling the speed limit to a safe level using speed limit signs will reduce the likelihood of an accident, as well as the severity of injuries and damage if one does occur. Clearly displaying speed limit signs is a small step that can make a huge difference. The approach speed is shown as a flashing numeral if the approach speed exceeds the posted speed limit by 3 mph (5 km/h) or more.

Safety signs are vital because they can help to prevent accidents and injuries. They can do this by:

Public areas, such as streets and city roads, require low-speed restrictions of 20- 30mph. This aims to reduce braking distance enough that pedestrians are at low risk of injury. Installing speed limit signs is one of the most important steps you can take to improve the safety of vehicles on your premises. Increase this further by displaying additional road traffic signs that provide directions, convey instructions, or warn of hazards. If you get a court summons or end up in court because you don't accept an offer of a fixed penalty, the magistrate will have to follow sentencing guidelines. The European Commission provisionally approved rules that speed limiters will become mandatory for all vehicles sold in Europe from 2022. The Department for Transport say the UK will follow suit, even after our exit from the EU.

Use speed limit signs in conjunction with speed bumps and other traffic calming solutions to further enhance their message. Reflective materials are used in many of our speed limit signs for increased visibility at night.

The course will cost more than the original fixed penalty but if you complete it, you’ll not get the three points on your licence. An approaching vehicle's speed is displayed as a solid numeral (non-flashing numeral) if the approach speed is at or below the posted speed limit. It’s a legal requirement for speed limiters to be fitted to vehicles with more than eight passenger seats, such as buses, coaches and limousines, as well as goods vehicles with a maximum laden weight of more than 3.5 tonnes.

New York: Where a roadway speed limit is restricted relative to the State speed limit, a second Speed Limit sign is placed within 1100 ft (336 m) of the first. Subsequent Speed Limit signs are to be no further apart than 100 times the posted speed limit (e.g., for a restricted speed of 35 mph (60 km/h) the maximum separation is 3500 ft (1068 m)). Areas designed exclusively for motors, such as carriageways, have a maximum speed limit of 50mph or 60mph, depending on the number of lanes. This can be shown either with the corresponding signs or a National Speed Limit sign. The range of speed limit signs at Seton feature relevant wording and pictograms, and some will also include further information on the hazard involved and behaviour expected. Thankfully, things have moved on a bit since then and today UK car speed limits are generally 30mph in urban areas, 60mph on main single-carriageway roads, and 70mph on dual carriageways and motorways.

Speed limits were first introduced in the UK in 1861 as part of the Locomotives on Highways Act, and limited vehicles to 10mph. When deciding where to place your maximum speed limit signs, always ensure that the signs are placed in highly visible areas for the drivers. Also, it is important to place the signs in such a way that drivers are given ample warning. For example, drivers will need time to prepare for speed bumps or pedestrian crossings and the signs advertising such warnings should not be placed directly over speed bumps and crosswalks. British Columbia, Canada: On long, uninterrupted sections of rural highways, it is recommended that Speed Limit signs be repeated at least every 9 to 12 miles (15 to 20 km). Additionally, a repeater Speed Limit sign should be placed 1000 to 2000 ft (300 to 600 m) downstream of wherever the speed limit changes. All of the signs that Seton manufacturers are available in two different reflectivity classes. The first is Class RA1 while is the standard option for reflective signs. Class RA1 provides a high level of performance for everyday use. Additional material considerations It is also important to choose the right traffic sign material when selecting traffic signs for your area. Aside from how reflective the sign’s material is, you should also consider Extra Tough Anti-Graffiti Over Laminate for traffic signs. This additional coating will mean that any spray paint or marker pens used on the sign will be easily wiped off. It will also reduce the wear and tear caused by the weather.
