Road markings
Highways England are responsible for road signs on all motorway and trunk roads.
We are responsible for all other A, B and C class roads, and most unclassified roads.
Signs we provide and fund:
- advisory signs - for example reduce speed now, village names plates with a safety message, unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles
- direction signs to guide and direct traffic
- information signs - for example weigh limit ahead, diversion
- regulatory signs - for example speed limit or waiting restrictions
- warning signs - for example bend, junction, road narrows, ice
- car park signs for car parks we own and manage
- pedestrian finger post sings, in some locations
- street name plates
Tourism and neighbourhood watch signs are funded by the applicant.
Our Signs Guidance and Street Furniture Policy has more information.
