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

Product Information

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 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. For example, if you are more concerned about UV resistance in areas with high visibility and direct sunlight, then you should consider signs that are made of especially durable, UV-resistant material. However, if you know that a certain area has low visibility and will be used quite often during the early mornings, evenings or nights, it is important to prioritise highly reflective speed limit signs. 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.

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. 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. 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.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. In general, Standard Highway Signs states that signs for regulatory speed zones shall be of the appropriate design—including size, text, and color. 33 The MUTCD states that the speed limits shown shall be in multiples of 5 mph (8 km/h). 15 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. 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 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.

Search Legislation

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.

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".) 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.

Don't forget that your speed will dramatically alter your stopping distances. The faster you're going, the longer it will take you to stop. Local limits Our signs are fully up-to-spec so come CE marked. You can be confident these signs will withstand the elements for years to come. 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.

It’s important to remember that speed limits should be treated as an absolute maximum – it’s not always safe to drive at this speed in all conditions. Durable construction: Made from top-grade materials, our sign is built to withstand harsh weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance.Speeding offences are enforced by the police using fixed, mobile or average speed cameras and are generally dealt with using the Fixed Penalty Notice system.
