Signs without a twist

A new post system should help solve the problem of twisted road signs. The new Signstr8 signpost is designed to tackle the issue of rotated signs, which is a common problem with galvanised or painted sign posts. By incorporating one flat face in the design of the new Signstr8 signpost, regulatory signs can be fixed without any subsequent rotation of the sign. This eliminates the cost of straightening signs, often more than the cost of the original sign and post combined. Signstr8 is similar to the industry

A new post system should help solve the problem of twisted road signs. The new Signstr8 2439 SignPost is designed to tackle the issue of rotated signs, which is a common problem with galvanised or painted sign posts. By incorporating one flat face in the design of the new Signstr8 signpost, regulatory signs can be fixed without any subsequent rotation of the sign. This eliminates the cost of straightening signs, often more than the cost of the original sign and post combined. Signstr8 is similar to the industry standard 76mm diameter post and is designed to meet British and European standards. The system uses standard fixing clips and is available in galvanised, painted or coated PVC finishes.
