  • Brown ‘heritage’ direction signs – specification?

    Posted by David Rogers on April 1, 2010 at 3:56 pm

    I’ve been asked to make several traffic grade direction signs in ‘heritage’ style.

    Actual materials are fine as I can get fully made with class one & brown on 3mm alu. from Wm Smiths at a reasonable price.

    It’s just that the spec of the surrounding & existing signs on the poles (some local authority, some highways agency, some…who knows) are all a variation on a theme…I’d prefer to do them to gov. spec. as regards layout.

    http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg … 070567.pdf shows typical signs…would these be accurate though…or just Mickey Mouse representations?

    Any help appreciated.

    This might not be much help but I am doing one at the moment through Ashby Trade, I asked them to do the artwork as they have all the templates for the shapes as well as fonts etc and know regulations for sizes etc.

    Cheers
