Safety systems and equipment

Traffic safety signage

Guidance and warning signs and boards that organise traffic, mark out routes and flag hazards, strengthening safety on roads, sites and work zones.

Road boards and work-zone equipment

Road boards organise traffic around and through a site, warn of hazards, guide drivers to routes and exits, and make temporary work zones safe while the work is under way. A board on its own does not close a lane, so we supply the equipment that works beside it as well — cones and drums, barriers and delineators, and the lamps and beacons that keep an obstacle visible after dark. We supply and install them to suit the site, the scope of work and the standard approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

Road boards

What we supply for the road

The classes of board we supply, drawn to the traffic regulations in force in the Kingdom. The exact set for a site follows the nature of the road, the traffic on it and the standard approved by the authority having jurisdiction — these show the range, not a fixed list.
