Delivery Entrance Signs
Delivery Entrance Sign directs couriers, delivery drivers and visiting hauliers to the correct entrance at commercial premises, warehouses and service yards. It helps you reduce wrong turns, reception interruptions and vehicle confusion where delivery access must be clear before arrival.
Best positions for clear delivery access
You should install this sign at the delivery approach, gate, goods-in door, loading bay entrance or service yard access point. Put it where drivers must make a decision, not after the turn, so the message is seen before vehicles enter the wrong area.
Viewing distance guidance
Match the size to the point where drivers first need to read it. Use the smaller size for slower, close-up approaches and the larger size where vehicles need the message earlier across a yard, entrance road or open delivery area.
| Size option | Practical viewing range | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 450 mm | Approx. 3–7 metres | Doors, gates and close approach points |
| H 200 x W 600 mm | Approx. 5–12 metres | Loading bays, yards and wider entrances |
Practical improvements you should see
Once fitted in the right position, the sign gives drivers a clear instruction at the moment they need it. This changes behaviour by reducing hesitation, redirecting delivery traffic earlier and helping reception, customer and staff entrances stay clearer.

Installation Guidance
❌ Fitting the sign after the turning point means drivers may already have committed to the wrong entrance.
❌ Placing it behind parked vehicles, open gates, bins or pallets reduces the time drivers have to react.
❌ Mounting it too low can make it harder to see from delivery vans and larger vehicles.
❌ Do not use it to control traffic on a public road, highway or area needing regulated road signs.
❌ Do not rely on it as a security instruction if unauthorised access needs barriers, gates or staff control.
❌ Do not use it as a substitute for hazard, fire, prohibition or mandatory safety signs where those messages are required.
✅ Install it before the driver’s decision point, facing the normal direction of vehicle approach.
✅ Keep the sign clean, upright and clear of seasonal growth, parked vehicles and temporary storage.
✅ Use suitable wall, post or wire fence mounting with the correct separate fixings for the chosen material.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Delivery Entrance Sign right for my site? Yes, choose it when delivery drivers need a clear entrance point separate from staff, visitor or customer access.
Should this go at reception? Only if reception is also the delivery access point. For most sites, it should be fitted before the delivery turn, gate or goods-in entrance.
Which size should I choose? Use H 150 x W 450 mm for close-up approaches and H 200 x W 600 mm where drivers need to read the message earlier across a yard or entrance route.
Can it be used outdoors? Yes, the display area is listed for indoors and outdoors. Choose the material and fixing method to suit the surface, exposure and mounting position.
Does it replace a traffic control sign? No. It is an information sign for private premises and should not be used where a regulated road traffic sign or legal restriction is required.

Build a clearer delivery route
Once drivers enter the site, use deliveries information notices to explain the next action clearly. Helpful where vehicles must report, wait or follow site instructions.
Where the delivery point is not immediately visible, add right arrow delivery signs on the route. They help drivers move confidently towards the correct area.
For larger entrance points or longer viewing distances, consider large delivery entrance signs where the message needs to stand out earlier. Useful on wider approaches and busy access roads.
For matching entrance and directional products, review the full delivery traffic sign collection before installation. It helps keep every delivery message consistent across the site.
