Road Safety Signs Found In South Africa

While South Africa’s roads are the least safe of most of the roads in the world, there are a growing amount of road safety signs being installed in order to promote safe road use for all. Manufacturing and installing a road safety or information sign is not child’s play. There is a lot that has to be considered before a good quality sign can be made. First off, road safety signs in South Africa need to be able to withstand the harsh conditions experienced on the roads and for this to be made possible, each sign needs to be durable and made from excellent quality materials.

The collection of road safety signs in South Africa are made up of regulatory signs, information signs, signal signs, warning signs, guidance signs, combination signs and symbolic safety signs – all in both temporary and permanent variations. Each of these signs are created of a suitable size to be visible from various distances and are painted with reflective, UV resistant paint to ensure that they can withstand long term exposure to the elements as well as be highly reflective and visible at night.

These seemingly small features are what make road signage in South Africa so effective. It is compulsory for all drivers to be familiar with and understand the meaning of the various road safety signs found on South Africa’s roads before they are able to obtain their driving license. Passengers, pedestrians and road workers should also familiarise themselves with the various road signs on the road.

Road safety signs are most effective when used in conjunction with other road safety products and features such as reflectors, delineators, safe hit channelisers, barriers, guard rails, soft cones, Melba cones, speed ramps, wire rope safety fences and more.
