Yards signs serve as countdown markers that will tell your distance to a particular point or area. These yards signs usually contain bars, and lesser bars mean a lesser distance from the motorway's exit or junction. These signs exist to allow you to prepare for what's ahead after the sign. Besides being a rectangular road sign containing different counts of stripes or bars, yards signs also come in different colours to indicate something. Here's what you need to know about the yards sign below. Rectangle signs are generally giving you information of some kind. Examples include parking restrictions, directions and bus lanes. Therefore, the introduction of the proposed amendment to TSRGD will not directly result in any increase in cost, but may lead to the installation of signs which cost local authorities more money to install and maintain, at their discretion.

Additional distance to a parking place

This amendment is effectively a variation on existing signs, which define pedestrian only, or pedestrian and cycle only zones around fixed periods. The proposal enables the zone’s status to be defined by flashing lights, rather than be fixed time periods. If you're a newbie driver, you must wonder why the "yards" sign exists. Well, to answer your question, these "yards" signs are actually referred to as countdown markers. These road signs exist to indicate how close you are to a particular point or area. Others are placed on gantries—bridge-like structures—above the road. These ones often tell you if you need to be in a certain lane for a specific destination. For example, if a lane is going to merge into an exit road, there would be a sign to tell drivers that the left lane is only for traffic destined for the next junction. It would direct vehicles heading to other places to move into one of the right-hand lanes. Keeping an eye on direction signs helps avoid dangerous lane-switching near junctions, and reduces the build-up of traffic around certain routes. Motorway junction signs not obscured by foliage or other obstructions, and is of the appropriate size and in good condtion.

The increased popularity of motorhomes, and their increased use on the road network, has been identified. This need has been discussed directly with Visit Scotland. Reducing sign clutter was a stated aim of the revision of TSRGD in 2016, and these amendments are not believed to compromise this.

No vehicles road sign

This should not usually be necessary on unlit roads, although it might sometimes be helpful on lit roads, particularly where the sign itself is unlit. Provisions within the 2022 Regulations and General Directions to ensure that existing signs already in place on the network will remain valid, even where they are superseded by the amendments. * Business and regulatory impacts are deemed to be negligible for the following proposals

A new sign permitted for use within a low emission zone, to remind drivers, incorporating the LEZ symbol. LEZ end sign Updating to the current symbol for this organisation (used on tourist information signs). Parking distance plates Providing flashing lights to define pedestrian and cycle zones will have implications in terms of installation and maintenance costs. It has also been noted that regulation of these areas will be dependent on the lights working effectively.Extension of the permitted plates to be used with Diagram 562 (triangular exclamation mark warning sign), enabling cyclists crossing and concealed accesses to be highlighted. Requirements for local facilities signing A white-coloured yards sign with red bars: These yards signs are seen when you are nearing a railway line that crosses a road. New signs incorporating countdown markers to identify a speed control area approaching. Particularly intended for use on approaches to towns and villages. Symbols for motorhome servicing Again, depending on the sign's indicated colours, you will likely see these yards signs once you're close to the end of a particular point or a possible hazard. With the help of these signs, you can switch lanes ahead of time and make your exit from the motorway or junction smoothly.

Are we nearly there yet? Sometimes, you just need a break from driving. When you’re bored, tired, hungry, or have passengers who are any/all of the above, you need to find the nearest service station. Thankfully, they’re well signposted on UK motorways, in the same distinctive blue as other motorway signs. My first question is why? Most uses of countdowns like this are on higher speed roads and warn of a rapidly approaching deceleration lane or other hazard. That is certainly not the case here. This is a 30mph single carriageway road in a residential area and there are several turnings off the road before the roundabout is reached. What is special about the roundabout as a hazard here? Of course, dangerous drivers might drive at high speed along this road and be caught out by the roundabout, but that could apply to any hazard such as a t-junction or pedestrian crossing. You don't normally see countdown markers for those. A new circular symbol to be used on traffic signs, such as direction signs and advance warning signs, indicating a low emission zone. LEZ entry sign Permitting a second distance to be included in the existing parking area approach sign, Diagram 2501, allowing drivers to make more informed choice. Pedestrian zone –flashing lights Brown rectangles are for tourist information. Always exciting when you’re on your way to a theme park and you see that brown rectangle telling you you’re nearly there!Discussions with local authorities have highlighted the need to avoid excessive road signing, and to limit sign sizes as far as possible, to only convey the necessary information.
