Forest Road Number Plate, 54x48 cm, Class I

Forest Road Number Plate, 54x48 cm, Class I

The forest road number plate shows the road's order number: a 54 x 48 cm white panel with the number in a black-bordered box, for example D9, and below it a line with kilometres, as in the normative's example, 12 km.

Where it goes

Under normative ID-001-15, it goes on the same post as the forest road name sign or the junction direction sign, above them, as in the grouping of Annex VIII. It identifies the forest road's order number.

Size and text

The normative gives no dimensions for this plate, so it is drawn after the Annex VII example: the road number in a 300 x 150 mm box with a black border, with 100 mm letters and figures, and the kilometre line below, also in 100 mm characters. You send the number and the kilometre line after ordering.

When class I is used

Class I (RA1) sheeting returns 70 cd/(lx·m²) for white to the driver and has a 7-year service life, enough on roads where headlights are the only light, such as forest roads. In areas with street lighting, shop windows, advertising and dense urban traffic, however, SR 1848-2 requires prismatic class 2 or 3 sheeting.

Technical data

• 54 x 48 cm panel: white rectangle with the road number in a black-bordered box and the kilometre line, in black;
• 1 mm galvanised steel sheet, with rounded corners and pressed edges, no sharp edges;
• electrostatically painted with UV-resistant paint;
• class I retroreflective sheeting (RA1), resistant to UV and weathering, with a 7-year service life;
• fixings included: 2 clamps for Ø48 mm posts and 4 bolts with nuts;
• CE marked; sheet, sheeting and construction to SR EN 12899-1:2007 and SR 1848-2:2011.

Mounting

It is sign no. 5 of Annex VII of the forest road maintenance and repair normative ID-001-15, approved by Order 482/2015. Fixings for the post are included: 2 clamps for Ø48 mm posts and 4 bolts with nuts; clamps for Ø60 mm posts are available on request.

The post is ordered separately. For a fixed installation in a concrete foundation: the galvanised Ø48 mm post, 300 cm. The normative asks for the sign to be clearly visible from 1.50–1.70 m and, when several signs share a post, for the lowest to be at least 1.20 m above the ground.
