British Road Signs

Contents Information for the Road Signs In the city Road Signs Highway Road Signs Conclusion

Information for Road Signs Road signs in the United Kingdom conform broadly to European norms, though a number of signs are unique to Britain and direction signs omit European route numbers. Shape: Almost all signs have rounded corners. This is partly for aesthetic reasons. It is also safer for anyone coming into contact with a sign, and it makes the sign more durable, as rain is less likely to corrode the corners.
