So it sounds like what you want is cheaper signage, good luck with that.

 

It matters little if people take no notice of the signs, that's pretty much their look out, but what is important is that you can demonstrate that you used the signs. Stops you getting sued.

We buy ones that you slot onto road cones from landmark trading, they're a bit flimsy but def cheaper and not such a grind when lost, run over, broken or whatever happens to them.

Thanks for the pointers. Warning signs seem like dead money when people just stroll past them, but like you said... Better than getting taken to court or the insurance company leaving you on your own when there is a claim

Maybe you should look at this and decide whether signs are useful.

 

We don't put our guys through Streetworks Training and invest in signs, cones, barriers and Hi-viz because we are concerned about the cost. The primary function is to ensure their well-being and the safety of others.

Signage means nothing if the people using it are not trained to use it, manage it or it doesn't comply to regulations.
