Our design page makes it easy to create a road sign that fits your site. Pick your size, shape, and material, add your text, symbols, or an arrow, then set the colours and check the preview.
Good to know: we make road signs for private use — private roads, driveways, car parks, and business premises. They aren't official highway signs. On public roads, signage has to meet UK traffic-sign regulations and is authorised by the local council or National Highways, so our signs aren't intended for that. As the person putting the sign up, you're responsible for making sure it suits the location and doesn't mislead other road users.
Where private road signs help
A clear sign keeps traffic moving and marks out what's yours. Private road signs work well for:
Private roads and shared driveways — mark private access and manage right of way
Residential developments and housing associations — keep parking and traffic orderly across the site
Car parks and visitor parking — direct drivers and reserve spaces
Farms, estates, and yards — guide visitors and flag hazards
Business premises — control access, deliveries, and staff parking
Choose your material
Every option here is made for outdoor use. Aluminium is the go-to for road signs, with the others suiting different budgets and preferences.
Aluminium — our first choice for road signs. Weatherproof, rust-free, and long-lasting, printed in full colour and sealed with UV laminate. Add a reflective laminate so the sign stays visible in headlights after dark.
Solid PET — a rigid, PVC-free plastic for outdoor use, and a good pick if you want a durable sign with a lighter environmental footprint.
Engraved plastic — a hard-wearing two-layer plastic, laser-engraved for crisp text that lasts 7–10 years outdoors.
Understanding sign shapes and colours
Road signs communicate at a glance through shape and colour. You can echo those conventions so your private sign reads instantly:
Warning — a red-bordered triangle, used to flag a hazard such as a bend, a ramp, or animals crossing
Prohibition — a red-bordered circle, used to say what isn't allowed, like no parking or no entry
Mandatory — a blue circle, used for instructions such as keep left or pedestrians this way
Information and direction — a rectangle, used for directions, parking, and general information
Parking signs – any road sign telling a person to park and rules applied to the parking area.
Because you design the sign yourself, you can borrow these cues for clarity while keeping the wording specific to your site.
Mounting your road sign (Montering block)
Choose how you'll fit the sign when you design it, and it arrives ready to install:
Pole attachment — for mounting on a post at an entrance or the roadside
Screws — for fixing flat to a wall, gate, or fence
For the best effect, put the sign somewhere clearly visible, and choose the reflective option if it needs to be seen at night.

FAQ
Are your road signs official or approved for public roads?
No. We make road signs for private use, such as private roads, driveways, car parks, and business premises. They're not official highway signs. Signs on public roads must meet UK traffic-sign regulations and are usually authorised by the local council or National Highways, so ours aren't intended for that.
Where can I use a private road sign?
On land you own or manage — a private road, driveway, car park, farm, estate, or business site. As the person installing it, you're responsible for making sure the sign suits the location and doesn't mislead public road users.
Can I choose my own text, symbols, and colours?
Yes. Because these are private-use signs, you have full freedom over the wording, symbols, and colours. Add an arrow, a message such as ‘Drive slowly’, or your own branding.
Which material is best for outdoors?
Aluminium is our top choice for road signs — weatherproof, durable, and available with a reflective laminate for night-time visibility. Solid PET and engraved plastic are also made for outdoor use.
Can I make my road sign reflective?
Yes. Choose the reflective laminate on aluminium so your sign catches headlights and stays visible in the dark.
How do I mount a road sign?
Pick pole attachment for mounting on a post, or screws for fixing to a wall, gate, or fence. Your sign arrives ready to install.
How quickly will my order arrive?
Most standard signs are produced within a few working days. Your delivery estimate is shown at checkout, based on the shipping method you choose.
