Road & Traffic Signage Solutions South Africa
Every road user depends on clear, visible, and correctly specified signage to navigate safely. When signs are missing, faded, non-compliant, or poorly manufactured, the consequences range from project delays and municipal penalties to serious safety incidents. Whether you are managing a construction site, upgrading a municipal road network, or coordinating a mining access route, sourcing reliable road traffic signage in South Africa that meets regulatory standards is non-negotiable.
Signs R Us is a South African signage manufacturer and supplier with a proven track record in delivering compliant, durable, and professionally manufactured road and traffic signs for a wide range of sectors and environments. We work directly with project managers, engineers, municipal procurement teams, and contractors — ensuring the right sign reaches the right location, on time and on spec.
Compliant Road Traffic Signage South Africa — Manufactured to SARTSMA & COLTO Standards
All road signage supplied by Signs R Us is manufactured in accordance with the South African Road Traffic Signs Manual (SARTSMA) and COLTO (Committee of Land Transport Officials) specifications. These are not optional frameworks — they are the legal and technical benchmarks that govern road sign design, reflectivity, dimensions, colour accuracy, and installation requirements across South Africa.
Our manufacturing process accounts for the precise retroreflective sheeting grades required for different road classifications, the correct substrate materials, and the dimensional tolerances specified in SARTSMA volumes. When you source from Signs R Us, you receive signs that will pass inspection, satisfy contract requirements, and perform reliably in the field.
What Compliance Means for Your Project
- Reduced project risk: Non-compliant signage can result in contract penalties, failed inspections, or insurance liability issues.
- Consistent quality: Every sign is produced to the same specification, whether you order ten or ten thousand.
- Long-term performance: Correct material selection ensures signs remain legible and reflective for their intended service life.
- Regulatory confidence: Municipal, provincial, and national road authorities require SARTSMA-compliant signage on all public road infrastructure.

Explore our sign categories in detail.
Temporary Road Signs
Temporary signage for construction zones, roadworks, traffic management plans, and event-related detours. Manufactured to SARTSMA specifications for temporary traffic accommodation (TTA), our temporary signs are available in standard sizes with appropriate reflectivity ratings.
GD Panels (Guide & Directional)
Large-format guide and directional panels for intersections, highway interchanges, and freeway environments. Signs R Us produces GD panels to precise SARTSMA layout requirements, including correct typeface (South African Highway Gothic), symbol sizing, and retroreflective sheeting grades.
Gantry Signs & Overhead Signage
Overhead gantry signage for high-speed roads, urban freeways, and major intersections. We manufacture the sign panels and can advise on substrate and fixing specifications to suit your structural engineer’s requirements.
Sign Profiles & Support Structures
Extruded aluminium sign profiles, backing channels, and support hardware to complement our sign panels. Correct profiling ensures structural integrity and wind resistance, particularly for larger sign installations.
Reflective Signage & Sheeting Grades
We work with industry-standard retroreflective sheeting across all grades — from Engineer Grade (EG) through to High Intensity Prismatic (HIP) and Diamond Grade — matched to road classification, speed environment, and SARTSMA requirements.
