Traffic Signing & Road Markings
The development of signing strategies and the implementation of consistent signing is important in obtaining the maximum capacity from our existing highway infrastructure.
The efficient and safe usage of highway networks can be assisted by the provision of comprehensive and effective road signs and carriageway markings to inform drivers of route destination, hazards and traffic regulation. Appropriate signing helps to maximise economic return on investment in highway infrastructure through the selection of optimum routeings and the avoidance of unnecessary delays.

Our team have been involved in all aspects from determining strategies to the supervision and maintenance of signing schemes and is therefore fully aware of the requirements for continuity of the system. Our experience includes signing schemes from a single parking restriction to the comprehensive resigning of the majority of Greater Manchester’'s Primary Routes network, and redesign of upgraded highway infrastructure.
The detailed design of signing schemes is carried out using the latest specialist design software. This facilitates accurate design and permits changes as a result of consultation during the design process.
