Mandatory minimum distance sign Disc Diameter 60 cm Class 1 Fig. 49 Sheet metal

Mandatory minimum distancing sign: safety and clarity

The road sign with the figure "mandatory minimum distance of ... meters" is a crucial element for the management of safety in different contexts, from urban roads to construction sites, up to private areas. This sign, in accordance with Fig. 49, clearly communicates the need to maintain a specific safety distance, helping to prevent accidents and promote responsible behaviour. Made for optimal visibility and long life, it integrates seamlessly into any permanent signage system.

Technical characteristics of the disc sign

This sign is a disc with a diameter of 60 cm, a size designed to ensure maximum readability even from a distance. It is made of high quality sheet metal, a robust and weather-resistant material, which ensures its durability over time. The surface of the sign is finished with a Class 1 film, a key feature that ensures excellent reflectivity. This means that the sign is clearly visible both day and night, even in low light conditions, thanks to the ability to reflect the light of the vehicle headlights.

Applications and regulatory compliance

The "mandatory minimum spacing" sign is designed for use as permanent road markings. It is used in numerous scenarios, such as construction site areas to indicate the safety distance to be kept from machinery or dangerous areas; industrial zones and logistics to regulate internal circulation and vehicle positioning; public and private spaces where it is necessary to manage the flow of people or vehicles, for example in parking lots or accesses.

Compliance with Fig. 49 ensures universal recognition and adherence to signage standards. Its installation is simple and ensures an immediate impact on the security of the site.

Frequently Asked Questions About Distancing Signs

1. Where is it mandatory to install a minimum distancing sign?

The installation requirement depends on the specific local regulations and the security needs of the site. Generally, it is required in areas where maintaining a safe distance is critical to prevent collisions or hazards, such as construction sites, loading/unloading areas, or access to specific points.

2. What is the difference between Class 1 and other refractive classes?

Class 1 indicates a standard level of reflectivity, which is suitable for most applications on roads with moderate traffic and in urban areas. Higher classes (e.g. Class 2) offer greater reflectivity, often required for extra-urban or high-speed roads where night visibility is even more critical.

3. How do I install the sign correctly?

The sign usually has holes for attaching to poles or supports. It is essential to choose a pole that is appropriate for the diameter of the sign and to ensure that it is installed at an appropriate height and in a clearly visible position, without obstacles that compromise its reading. It is advisable to use anti-rotation brackets to ensure stability over time.
