Hinged flap signs

Our hinged flap signs have been used extensively on many of the UK's new off-network diversion route schemes. (Also known as 'trigger signs') You will see many of our hinged flap signs on and around motorway junctions. They allow for rapid traffic management responses to emergency trunk road closures. Permanent quality signs. Multi message signs displaying alternative messages eg other diversion routes. Up to 3 flaps may be added per sign plate. Flaps are interchangeable. All components are made from stainless steel, preventing corrosion and seizure. All designs are bespoke, please contact us for a quote. These signs are also ideal for many other applications: Temporary versions for dynamic traffic management systems Temporary parking restrictions for events eg. concerts or football matches

Flap sign variants:

Although each sign is bespoke and tailored to meet specific requirements, they are generally made to the following specification:

• For signs below 1200mm in height, a single anti-luce clip at the base of the sign will be used, as shown in photo (top right).
  
• For signs above 1200mm in height, the 'shepherds crook' will be used to secure the top of the flap, with anti-luce clips securing the bottom. This removes any risk associated with difficult-to-reach clips at the top of the sign.
