Sound Horn Signs
Sound Horn Mandatory Safety Signs are high-visibility ISO 7010 M029 compliant instruction signs used in warehouses, loading bays and industrial traffic routes. Designed to alert drivers to sound their horn at blind corners and restricted access points, they improve pedestrian awareness and vehicle safety in busy work environments.
Where & How to Use this traffic sign
Install at warehouse blind corners, narrow site entrances, loading bays and shared forklift routes where vehicle and pedestrian movement overlaps. Position clearly at driver eye level before the hazard approach so horn use becomes instinctive. Suitable for internal corridors and external yard areas when fixed securely to clean surfaces.
