Premium Slow Moving Vehicles On Incline Post Mounted Sign - Warning for Traffic Safety with Standard Sizing Options

Product Overview

The slow-moving vehicles sign, diagram 583, alerts drivers to the presence of slower-moving heavy vehicles ahead due to an incline. This warning is essential for preventing congestion and collisions on roads with two lanes, where traffic may close unexpectedly fast.

Usage Instructions

This sign is required to be used in conjunction with ‘Slow lorries for’ and a distance plate indicating how many miles the incline continues. Typically, these signs are placed on dual carriageways and motorways where inclines do not meet road standards. The desirable maximum gradients defined in the standards are:

• 3% for motorways
• 4% for dual carriageways
• 6% for single carriageways

This diagram is specifically intended for upward gradients only, to alert drivers of slower-moving vehicles. In contrast, for downhill gradients of 10% or more, a different sign should be used.
