What are 3 Signs on the road?
There are three primary types of road traffic signs observed on Britain’s roads:
- Signs that give orders: These road traffic signs include directives like “When red light shows, wait here,” crucial for managing traffic and ensuring compliance with road rules.
- Signs that warn you: Warning road traffic signs, such as “Warning, 20% grade decline,” alert drivers to potential hazards, promoting road safety.
- Signs that give information: Informative signs, like “Designated public parking,” provide essential details to assist drivers and pedestrians. These are often seen as wooden finger posts or standard road signs.
Each category of road traffic signs serves a vital role and is an integral part of the highway code. The modern manufacturing of these signs involves advanced road sign printing techniques, including long-lasting materials that feature retro-reflectivity. This is achieved either through glass beads or micro-prismatic technology incorporated into the signs.

What Are Finger Post Signs?
Fingerpost signs, also known as wooden finger posts, are traditional directional signposts featuring multiple fingers pointing towards different destinations. These versatile signs can be found in various locations such as parks, schools, universities, along roads, and country pathways, serving as essential guides for pedestrians and motorists alike.
These signs are highly adaptable, capable of indicating multiple directions, highlighting points of interest, and providing crucial information, including directions and colour-coded symbols for pathways. They are particularly prominent in small towns, villages, and public footpaths, where they aid hikers in navigating various routes, often colour-coded for ease of identification. A notable example is the fingerpost sign at Land’s End in Cornwall, directing travellers towards destinations like John o’ Groats, New York, and the Isle of Scilly.
At T Signs Ltd, we specialise in crafting bespoke fingerpost signs using premium materials, ensuring durability and longevity. Whether you prefer a sleek metal fingerpost or a classic wooden fingerpost sign, we can fulfil your specific requirements with our road sign printing expertise.

FAQs
road signs & fingerposts
When customers are looking for a road sign or fingerpost, they often ask these common questions, which we are happy to answer. If the information you are looking for isn’t listed here, please do not hesitate to get in touch about your signage project.
Do I need a CE certified sign?
CE certification is crucial for ensuring compliance with EU standards for road traffic signs, particularly for public highway installations. While mandatory for road signs mounted on public highways, the decision to pursue CE certification for signs on private land, including wooden finger posts, rests with the owner. At T Signs Ltd, our CE-certified road sign printing services prioritize safety and quality, offering bespoke solutions for all your road traffic sign needs.
Do road signs have to be illuminated?
Road traffic signs, including wooden finger posts, must be visible in low light and at night for the safety of motorists and other road users. To achieve this visibility, we use long-lasting retroreflective material in our road sign printing process. This material ensures that the signs reflect external light sources, such as headlights, providing adequate illumination.
Why are fingerpost signs called fingerposts?
Fingerpost signs earned their name due to their distinctive appearance and functionality. They are primarily used when a single sign post needs to display directions to multiple locations. The pointers on these signs are oriented towards the direction of each destination, resembling fingers pointing the way. In fact, some fingerpost signs are intentionally designed to resemble arms with pointed fingers, enhancing their visual appeal. At T Signs Ltd, we specialise in crafting high-quality wooden finger posts, ensuring durability and visibility for all your directional signage needs. Our road sign printing services further enhance the clarity and longevity of these essential road traffic signs.
