The
Highway Code gives examples of the
most common signs in normal use. Signs fall into certain
groups:
regulatory signs - signs with red circles.
warning signs - mostly triangular.
direction signs - mostly rectangular. Destinations and map
type.
information signs - mostly rectangular.
All signs on the highway
must be authorised by the Authority. Special signs are allowed with
prior approval of the Department for Transport, or if they are
experimental and under trial.
Tourism Signing
Tourism signing provides an
important opportunity for both tourism businesses and local
economies and will be implemented positively and
constructively.
There is an advertising
element as it helps to generate more visits. The primary purpose is
to safely guide those wishing to visit a tourist destination along
the most appropriate route for the final stages of their journey,
or to indicate facilities that a tourist would not reasonably
expect to find in that location.
