Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted Signs
Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted Signs are warning signs used to deter unauthorised entry before people cross into private, restricted or controlled areas. They help property owners, site managers and facilities teams make boundaries clear, reduce confrontation and support safer access control.
Where Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted Signs Should Be Positioned
You should install this sign at entrances, perimeter gates, service yards, private drives, storage compounds and staff-only access points. Put it where a person sees the warning before entering, not after they have already crossed the boundary.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Clear Trespass Warnings
For entrances, doors and pedestrian approaches, A4 is best read at close range, typically within a few metres. Use larger formats where drivers, delivery staff or walkers need to understand the message before reaching the restricted point.
| Size option | Best viewing use | Practical distance guide |
|---|---|---|
| H 297 x W 210mm | Doors, gates, fences and close approach points | Best for short-range viewing within a few metres |
What This Sign Helps Change On Site
