Professional Post Mounted Warning Sign for Fords - Diagram 554 with Distance Indicator and Flooding Warning Features

Description

This Professional post-mounted warning sign is specifically designed for roads where fords are present, ensuring safety even during dry summer months. The sign serves as an important alert for drivers, effectively communicating the presence of a ford ahead.

The sign should be strategically placed at the beginning of the road leading to the ford, accompanied by a plate indicating the distance to the ford and a directional arrow where necessary. In areas prone to flooding, it's advisable to supplement the 'Ford Ahead' warning sign with a 'Road liable to flooding' plate for enhanced safety.

After a ford, it is recommended to install a 'Try your brakes' sign, ideally mounted on the reverse side of the 'Ford Ahead' sign using compatible back-to-back clips for a streamlined presentation.

Although the water depth gauge is no longer a mandated sign, its use is encouraged in regions where road conditions can become impassable due to heavy flooding. This implementation should be authorized by the relevant national authority to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
