Vehicle movement signs for yards, bays and work routes
For delivery points with unloading risks, use vehicles unloading danger signs near bays and service routes. They give a stronger warning where people and vehicles share space.
Where the message needs to focus on a loading bay, choose caution loading bay signs for goods-in doors and yard entrances. This helps visitors and staff recognise a vehicle activity area.
For temporary vehicle warnings on construction sites, compare with construction traffic stanchion signs at crossings and route changes. They are useful when traffic movement shifts during works.
If fuel-powered equipment is also present, add diesel fuel hazard signs near storage or refuelling points. This keeps traffic risks and fuel risks clearly separated.
