Traffic signs for tourist businesses

Types of traffic signs

The design and use of traffic signs are controlled under regulations, the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 (TSRGD 2002), for which the Department for Transport is responsible.

Standard directional signs

These are signs which direct road users to places throughout the country, as an aid to navigation. They have a blue, green or white background depending on the type of road. Traffic signs are provided for highway safety and effective traffic management, and rules govern their design and location. Individual businesses are generally not eligible for this type of traffic sign.

Brown signs

Brown signs are provided mainly to direct visitors to their intended tourist destination towards the end of their journey. Standard symbols are sometimes used on these signs. They illustrate different types of attraction or facility and are specified in TSRGD 2002. Some examples are shown below:
