Deliveries With Left Arrow Signs
Deliveries With Left Arrow Signs are blue information signs showing “Deliveries” with a white arrow pointing left. They help couriers, suppliers and site visitors find the correct delivery entrance, loading bay or goods-in area before they block access, miss the turn or enter the wrong part of your premises.
Best Places to Position This Deliveries Left Arrow Sign
You should install this sign before the left turn into your delivery entrance, loading bay or goods-in area. Visibility matters because drivers need time to slow down, signal and move safely without stopping in visitor areas, reversing unnecessarily or asking staff for directions.
Viewing Distance Guidance
Choose the size around how early a driver needs to make the left turn. Use the larger option where vehicles approach from a yard, car park lane or shared service road.
| Size option | Practical reading range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 450 mm | Around 4–8 metres | Close approach doors, gates and internal goods-in routes |
| H 200 x W 600 mm | Around 6–12 metres | Outdoor approaches, wider entrances and busy delivery lanes |
Expected Site Behaviour After Installation
Once fitted in the right place, this sign helps drivers commit to the correct left-hand delivery route earlier, reducing hesitation at entrances and helping staff keep goods-in movements separate from everyday pedestrian and parking activity.

Installation Guidance
❌ Fitting it after the turning point, where drivers have already committed to the wrong route.
❌ Mounting it behind parked vans, bins or pallets so the arrow is hidden during deliveries.
❌ Placing it flat to the wall when drivers approach from the side and cannot read it early enough.
❌ Do not use it where deliveries must turn right, continue ahead or report to reception first.
❌ Do not rely on it alone for controlled site traffic, restricted access or detailed vehicle rules.
❌ Avoid using it as a parking instruction; it only directs delivery movement towards a location.
✅ Install before the left turn, at driver eye level where the vehicle approach gives time to react.
✅ Match the sign size to approach distance, using the larger option where speeds or sight lines are higher.
✅ Keep the route consistent with other delivery entrance and goods-in signs across the premises.
Frequently asked questions
Are Deliveries With Left Arrow Signs right for my delivery entrance? Yes, if drivers need to turn left to reach your delivery point, loading bay or goods-in area.
Which size should I choose? Use H 150 x W 450 mm for closer approaches and H 200 x W 600 mm where drivers need to see the instruction earlier.
Can this sign be used outside? Yes, the supplied display area is indoors/outdoors. Choose the material and fitting method that suits your surface and exposure.
Is this a legal road traffic sign? No, it is an information sign for private premises and workplace delivery routes, not a public highway traffic control sign.

Useful signs for left-hand delivery routes
If drivers first need to identify the correct access, install a delivery entrance point sign before the turn. This helps prevent vehicles entering the wrong area.
Where the left turn leads to a marked stopping place, add delivery bay parking signs at the destination. Useful for keeping unloading areas easier to identify.
For larger approaches where the arrow must be seen sooner, choose large left arrow deliveries signs for stronger route visibility. A good option where vans or lorries approach from further away.
For other delivery route and parking messages, compare the delivery vehicle sign options before ordering. This makes it easier to cover each turning and stopping point.
