Features and Benefits

• High-visibility design to alert drivers of loose chippings and skid risks.
• Durable construction suitable for outdoor conditions.
• Easy to install with a quick-fit system, allowing for rapid deployment.

Usage Instructions

This sign should be utilized immediately after a new surface dressing is applied. The surface dressing process involves spraying the road with hot bitumen and rolling in stone chippings to fill any gaps. Although this treatment enhances skidding resistance and prevents water ingress, residual loose gravel can cause hazards on the road.

Road workers will brush the surface, but it's important to note that loose chippings will remain. These can pose a significant threat, as loose stones may be thrown into the path of oncoming traffic, or vehicles could skid across the surface if not properly warned.
