Road-style sign - private land only
Speed limit signs
Print a speed limit sign for a private road, car park, yard or site. The set has the familiar white disc with a red ring for 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 mph, plain text signs for 5 and 10 mph, a "Walking pace only" sign and a pedestrian warning. Each comes in A5, A4 and A3, portrait and landscape. These are notices for private land, not official traffic signs. They show the speed you expect and do not replace the signs that apply on public roads. For private land - not for use on public roads.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.
- Use thicker paper or card (160gsm or more) if the sign will be handled.
- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- Car parks and shared forecourts
- Farm tracks, yards and depots
- Caravan and holiday parks
- Business parks and building sites
- School grounds, estate roads and private lanes
Questions
Can I use these on a public road?
No. Speed limits on public roads are set by the highway authority and use official signs. These are for private land only.
Does a printed sign make a speed limit legally enforceable?
It tells drivers what you expect. We make no claim about enforcement; take advice if you need to enforce a limit on private land.
Why is there no "mph" on the roundel?
The UK roundel shows the number only; we add the unit on the panel below the roundel so no one has to guess.
What size should I use?
A3 or larger for drivers approaching in vehicles. A4 only works for slow, close-up notices such as a car park barrier.
