Urban Sign System Post - Versatile, Durable & Eco-Friendly Signage Solution
The Urban Sign System is a high-performance, portable signage solution designed for traffic management, pedestrian guidance, and event wayfinding. Made from 100% recycled PVC, this robust, non-slip base and interchangeable sign system offers exceptional stability, ease of transport, and quick deployment, making it ideal for urban environments, construction zones, and temporary road signage.
Â
The design of the Urban Sign Base allows for the installation of existing 300mm and 450mm hole centre sign faces when utilising two Urban Sign Posts. Only one post is required when the hole centres are central to the sign face. Larger signs will require two posts.
Â
As standard, the Sign Feet/Sign Base come in black with yellow hi-vis fixings to ensure they stand out in the dark and do not present a trip hazard. The posts come in yellow, however we can change the colour to suit your corporate identity or specific requirements for orders over 200 units.
Â
The Urban Sign System is also the most stable sign frame on the market and takes away any requirements for weighting the sign frame with messy sandbags. The Urban Sign Post can also be reinforced by adding more than one base. The bases will only stack one way, which ensures all holes self-align, this then allows the use of multiple bases to create higher stability. In total this post can be combined with up to three stacked bases.
