Common sign design problems

Customers may often wonder why designs we send back to them for approval have changed in layout and/or size from the design they originally submitted to us.

Above are 5 examples of sign designs which we hope will illustrate a broad range of common sign design issues.

Click on each of the buttons to highlight an error and view the brief explanation, and follow the llinks to the DfT traffic sign literature.

(A basic knowledge of x-heights and stroke widths are necessary in order to understand traffic design issues.)
