What Are Temporary Road Signs?

Temporary road signs are lightweight, portable boards used to manage traffic, guide drivers, and highlight hazards during short-term works or events. Unlike permanent road signage, these signs are designed for flexibility and quick installation, making them ideal for roadworks, resurfacing, construction projects, and public events.

Most temporary road signs are produced using Correx® corrugated plastic, a durable and weatherproof material that performs well outdoors. Correx® is resistant to rain and wind, ensuring the signs remain visible in all conditions, yet it is also lightweight enough to be mounted quickly with cable ties or frames.

Because these signs are intended for short to mid-term use, they provide a cost-effective solution for councils, contractors, and event organisers. They can be printed in full colour, with reflective options available for improved visibility at night or in low-light conditions. All signs are produced to meet UK road signage requirements, giving you confidence that your temporary signage is both compliant and reliable.

Custom Printed Correx® Road Signs

Our custom printed Correx® road signs give you the flexibility to display exactly the message you need, whether it’s for traffic management, construction works, or public events. Each sign can be fully tailored with your own logo, text, colours and branding, ensuring your organisation is clearly represented on site.

We produce signs in a wide range of sizes and quantities — from small batches for one-off projects through to bulk orders for major contractors and councils. You can choose reflective or non-reflective finishes depending on whether your signs need to be seen at night or in low-light conditions.

Made from 100% recyclable Correx® plastic, these boards are both lightweight and durable, offering excellent weather resistance while being easy to transport and install. That makes them the ideal solution for councils, contractors, and event organisers who need reliable, eco-friendly signage delivered fast and ready to use.

Reflective & Non-Reflective Options

Our temporary road signs are available in both reflective and non-reflective finishes, so you can choose the best option for your project.

• Reflective signs are essential for use at night, in poor weather, or on highways where visibility is critical. They ensure your message is seen clearly by drivers and meet safety requirements for roadworks and traffic management.

• Non-reflective signs are ideal for short-term, low-risk applications such as daytime construction projects, local events, or temporary closures in well-lit areas.

Whichever option you choose, all of our signs are printed on durable, weatherproof Correx® boards, designed to perform reliably in outdoor conditions.

Common Uses for Temporary Traffic Signage

Our temporary traffic signs are used across the UK by councils, contractors, and event organisers. Typical applications include:

• Roadworks and maintenance – keeping drivers informed of diversions, closures, and hazards

• Construction sites – marking restricted areas and directing traffic around works

• Events and diversions – managing crowds, parking, and temporary traffic flow

• Surface dressing & temporary closures – providing clear, compliant notices for safety and compliance

Whether you’re managing a small project or a large-scale infrastructure scheme, our signs provide a cost-effective and practical solution.
