5837 protection fencing notices

[sloth]

Hi all, I'm looking to update my template for construction exclusion zones. I have a very basic warning triangle with the standard 'construction exclusion zone - keep out' at the moment.

I'm thinking of including more info along the lines of 'these trees may be protected by T&CP Act, other statutory protection etc. Entering this zone may result in....'

I'm thinking people may take a mild 'threat' more seriously! However, I'm unsure whether simple is better, and more likely to be read in the first place.

Thoughts, suggestions and opinions please.....

I would think a simple sign is better - large and bright and lots of 'em.

That's the principle I currently work on was just curious as to others opinions as I have seen some which have one half of A4 with the '!' and the other half like a short essay about tree roots and the legal mumbo jumbo of consequences/fines etc.

I was considering a kind of middle ground between the two extremes of simple vs ott...

without generalising too much I doubt most 360 drivers give a toss about the nitty gritty of tree roots and.TPO regs. Just KEEP OUT! will do!

Too true!

"Actung- Minen!" in hammy, WWII war film German-gothic writing with a skull and crossbones underneath?

 

Even that probably wouldn't work....

Also, bear in mind that if they are not specifically protected by a TPO etc, the 'offence' is a pretty minor one (breach of condition, development otherwise than in accordance with submitted plans etc etc).

 

Maybe Tree Protection Zone - KEEP OUT, as at least 360 drivers and so on will know why (as if a fence round a tree wouldn't make it obvious anyway...).

You could put the danger sign with the warning death of electrocution! High voltage electrics tend to make people think!

I'm liking this, in conjunction with an electric fence hook-up...

 

 

 

...a step too far?

I suppose even with tpo protection, simply entering the cez won't necessarily fall foul of it...
