10 mph Speed Limit Sign in Manchester

from £26.55

Ten is slow enough for a road that people walk along, fast enough that drivers do not feel it is unreasonable. That balance is why it gets obeyed more often than a limit that feels like a crawl.

About this product

Business park roads in Cheadle and south Manchester

Take a business park outside Cheadle with a loop road serving a dozen office buildings. Staff walk from the car parks to their buildings, couriers race between receptions, and the gym on the corner has members crossing in shorts. A 10 mph roundel at the park entrance, then again after each junction, gives the managing agent a clear rule to point to.

The long straight problem

The mistake is putting a low limit on a long, wide, empty road and signing it once. Drivers judge the right speed by the road, not the sign. If the loop road has a long straight, repeat the roundel along it, and consider whether a ramp or a narrowing would help more. A limit that matches the layout is the one that gets kept. On private land the landowner sets the limit and decides how to manage it.

Size and board

At the entrance, read from a car moving at road speed, A1 is right (about 24 metres away). A2 suits repeater signs along the road. Dibond is the long-term choice on posts; 5mm Foamex is stiff and flat for a covered car park; 3.5mm Correx for temporary works, such as a resurfacing diversion.

Prices start at £26.55. The roundel is ready, nothing to design; if you want the estate's name underneath, typesetting is £15 and a person checks the file free. Production takes 5 working days, then a tracked courier usually needs 1 to 3 working days. Delivery is £7.95, free once goods reach £100. You can collect from our Manchester office (Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, M8 8EB) when we email to say it is ready. See other limits in speed limit signs.

We are a Manchester printer with customers all over the UK. Delivery covers Manchester and its suburbs, Oldham among them, and the rest of the mainland, and local customers can collect from our Manchester office when the order is ready.

What size should I order?

Pick a size people can read from where they will stand. As a cautious rule, using the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, allow roughly 1 metre of reading distance per 25 mm of sign height (measured on the shorter side). Check it against your own risk assessment.

Size	Can be read from about
A3 (297 × 420 mm)	12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)	17 m
A1 (594 × 841 mm)	24 m

Good lighting stretches the reading distance; in dim spots, go a size up.
