Diagram 552 warns drivers that a cattle grid is ahead, giving them time to anticipate the change in road surface and approach safely. Councils and highway authorities use these signs on rural and semi-rural roads, including primary routes through agricultural areas, to improve road safety and reduce the risk of loss of control or discomfort when crossing the grid, especially in areas with animals and farm traffic.
These signs are commonly installed on single-carriageway rural roads, moorland routes, and farm access roads where cattle grids are used to contain livestock. They’re often positioned on primary routes and other roads with regular traffic, including those approaching intersection points or junctions where drivers may need to adjust speed and position before encountering the grid.
Yes. Our Diagram 552 signs are CE-marked and manufactured to meet UK road signage standards for dimensions, materials, and reflectivity. While this is a warning sign rather than one of the regulatory signs that impose legal restrictions, it forms part of a compliant signing scheme under the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) for use by councils and other public-sector bodies.
Our Diagram 552 signs are post mountable, with options for rear channels or pre-drilled holes to suit your installation method. Whether you’re fixing to a standard galvanised post or integrating with an existing signpost network, we can advise on the best configuration for your site and ensure the sign is clearly visible to drivers approaching the cattle grid.
Yes. We regularly supply batch orders of Diagram 552 signs for council-led rural road safety schemes, moorland routes, and agricultural access improvements. For large-scale projects, contact us for volume pricing, lead times, and delivery planning to suit your programme, whether you’re updating regulatory signs across a district or enhancing warning signage on key rural corridors with high levels of animals and farm traffic.
