No Overtaking Sign Disc Diameter 60 cm Class 2 Fig. 48 Galvanized sheet metal or aluminum

No Overtaking Sign (Fig. 48) - Guaranteed Road Safety

The No Overtaking road sign, identified by Figure II 48, is a fundamental element for traffic management and accident prevention. Designed with a diameter of 60 cm, it is the ideal standard format for use in urban areas, secondary country roads and for temporary signalling on construction sites or work areas.

Maximum Visibility with Class 2 Reflective Film

Made of galvanized sheet metal or aluminum with a thickness of 25/10, this sign guarantees robustness and durability over time. Its distinguishing feature is the Class 2 reflective film, which ensures high refraction. This technology is crucial for keeping the visibility of the sign high even in low light conditions, at night or in adverse weather conditions, such as rain or fog.

Function and Areas of Application of the Prohibition of Overtaking

The "No Overtaking" sign is used to prevent overtaking manoeuvres on road sections where safety is compromised. This includes areas with limited visibility, narrow carriageways, dangerous curves, bumps or near road construction sites. It can be used for both temporary and permanent applications, in compliance with the Highway Code (Art. 148) and the Implementing Regulation (Figure II 48 – Presidential Decree 495/1992).

Frequently Asked Questions about the No Overtaking Sign (Fig. 48)

What is the main function of the No Overtaking sign?

The main function is to prohibit overtaking manoeuvres on specific road sections, to ensure traffic safety, especially in conditions of reduced visibility, narrow carriageways, curves or in the presence of roadworks.

What does "Class 2" mean for reflective film?

"Class 2" indicates a film with high refraction. This means that the sign reflects more light, making it extremely visible at night or in adverse weather conditions, such as fog or heavy rain, thus improving safety.

Can the sign be used for temporary signaling?

Yes, the No Overtaking sign with a diameter of 60 cm is suitable for both permanent and temporary installations, such as those on road construction sites or special events, where it is necessary to regulate the flow of traffic for a limited period.
