Overview
This speed limit sign puts a speed or driving rule on your own roads and yards. Typical homes for it are site haul roads, yards, estates and car parks. Our 10 mph speed limit sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.
Reading the sign
It reads "10 mph Speed Limit". The red-ringed number is the roundel drivers already know from the road, so it needs no explaining.
Where to fix it
At the way in, with repeats along longer routes. Repeat the limit after junctions and on long straights, so a driver who missed the first sign still gets told.
The right size for 10 mph speed limit sign printing depends on the reading distance. Reading distance is worked out from the sign’s short side: about a metre for every 25 mm, the distance factor from ISO 3864-1. That makes A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Pick bigger for car parks, yards and long runs of corridor.
10 mph speed limit sign printing: which material
There is a board for each kind of spot in our 10 mph speed limit sign printing range:
- 3.5mm Correx, the fluted plastic board: light, waterproof and cheap to replace, which is why it is the site-sign favourite
- 5mm Foamex, the thicker foam board that stays flatter once you go up to the bigger sizes
- 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
Short job, Correx. Indoors, Foamex. Long job outdoors, Dibond.
On private roads a limit is a site rule, backed by your own policies, rather than a road traffic offence.
The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require employers to use a safety sign where a risk cannot be removed or controlled some other way.
Send a print-ready PDF, build it in the online designer, or pay for our artwork service (you get 1 design and 2 rounds of changes). Whichever you pick, a person checks the file before it prints. Each 10 mph speed limit sign printing job is printed to order and sent out from the UK. We charge £7.95 to send it anywhere on the UK mainland, and nothing once your goods come to £100 or more after discounts. The Highlands add £10, and addresses in Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly or the Isle of Wight get a quote. Full details are on the delivery page.

Which size do I need?
A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.
| Size | Readable from up to about |
|---|---|
| A3 (297 × 420 mm) | 12 m |
| A2 (420 × 594 mm) | 17 m |
| A1 (594 × 841 mm) | 24 m |
Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.
Questions
Quick answers about 10 mph speed limit sign printing.
What size do I need so people can read "10 mph Speed Limit"?
Go by reading distance rather than wall space. In normal light, A3 (297 × 420 mm) covers 12 m, A2 (420 × 594 mm) covers 17 m and A1 (594 × 841 mm) covers 24 m. Choose one size up if people pass quickly or the area is poorly lit.
Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "10 mph Speed Limit"?
No, ISO 7010 has no pictogram for this exact message. So the sign is words only, set in the usual red ring speed limit layout.
Where should the "10 mph Speed Limit" message go so people act on it?
The right place is at the entrance, then repeated along longer roads so drivers keep seeing the limit. Check nothing will stand in front of it, like open doors, stacked stock or parked vans.
Am I legally required to display "10 mph Speed Limit"?
On private land a speed limit is a site rule, not a road traffic offence. You enforce it through your own site policies and terms of entry. Where signs go is set by your own risk assessment.
Why is the 10 mph Speed Limit sign in these colours?
A number inside a red ring sets the speed limit. The "10 mph Speed Limit" sign uses that standard layout, so people read its meaning before the words.
Will the 10 mph Speed Limit sign survive outdoors?
Yes, if you order it in Dibond or Correx; both cope with rain. Pick the material in the options before you order.
Asked by buyers
How much will the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign set me back?
£26.07 is where the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign starts, set up as A3 (297 × 420 mm) and 3.5mm Correx on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).
Is delivery ever free?
It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £26.07 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.
If I buy the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign today, when will it leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign are Express 2 working days, Standard 3 and Saver 5, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.
I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?
Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Dibond, Foamex or Correx: which should we pick for a 10 mph Speed Limit Sign?
"10 mph Speed Limit" might go up at a farm track, a caravan park, a private estate road or a car park, so the choice comes down to the surface and the weather. Correx is a waterproof fluted plastic suited to short-term jobs outdoors. Foamex is a light plastic board, best kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Dibond, an aluminium composite, is the long-life choice for outdoors and hard-wearing spots. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
How big does our 10 mph Speed Limit Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?
Stand where someone first needs to read "10 mph Speed Limit" and pace out the gap to where it will hang. Then match that number: up to 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. Dim corners or people on the move call for one size bigger. Those distances follow the ISO 3864-1 distance-factor method (25 mm of height per metre) and sit alongside your risk assessment, not in place of it. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
Which sizes can the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign be printed in?
Smallest: A3 (297 × 420 mm), from £26.07. Biggest: A1 (594 × 841 mm), from £51.39. One more is listed in between, and every figure is for the cheapest options. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look.
Where is the best spot for a 10 mph Speed Limit Sign?
Three things to get right with "10 mph Speed Limit". Position: where the road or car park starts, then again at intervals if the route is long. Visibility: good lighting, and no vans, doors or boxes hiding it. Upkeep: note the location with your risk assessment paperwork, then look now and again to make sure it is still there and legible. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
What will people understand when they see a 10 mph Speed Limit Sign?
Its job is to set the speed on car parks, private roads and building sites: "10 mph Speed Limit" is laid out as a speed limit sign. There is no ISO 7010 pictogram for "10 mph Speed Limit", so the words alone carry the meaning. You will find it useful at a farm track, a caravan park, a private estate road or a car park. Word for word, this sign says "10 mph Speed Limit".
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07.
How much does an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign cost?
From £34.50, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £34.50, 5mm Foamex at £44.82 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £57.95. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves.
Can a private person buy a single sign?
Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £26.07, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £26.07 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order.
We are kitting out a hall with several different signs. Can they all go in one order?
Yes. Put each sign in the basket with whichever size and board suits its spot, then pay once at checkout. One delivery charge covers the whole order, and it drops to nothing when the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Picking the same board for every sign gives the set a matching look; "10 mph Speed Limit" comes in A3, A2 and A1. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
I need several signs, some in different sizes. How do I buy them?
Set up the first size, type how many you need next to Add to basket, then go back and set up the next size as another line. Every price you see is for one sign, and the quantity box does the multiplying. Paying for artwork? It is charged once per line, not per item, and the option to reuse artwork from another basket item adds no second fee. For big numbers, ask on our Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
How much for the biggest size, A1 (594 × 841 mm)?
From £51.39, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £51.39, 5mm Foamex at £83.14 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £83.74. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves.
Is there a quicker turnaround for this sign?
Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign out, against 5 on Saver, and costs £34.78 on the opening option rather than £26.07. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign cost more to send?
The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Can the wording on a 10 mph Speed Limit Sign be changed, or our logo added?
A school can add its crest to "10 mph Speed Limit", a club its badge, a shop its name. Choose typesetting (£15) if you know the words, or design from your brief (£35) if you would like us to lay it out; each comes with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Have your own finished file? Upload it free and one of our team will look it over. Keep the symbol and safety colours unchanged so the sign still reads the right way. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).
Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?
Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).
Which file formats can I upload?
A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?
Roughly 7,016 pixels across and 9,933 down for an A1 (594 × 841 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred.
What thickness is the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign, and does it feel sturdy?
For a rigid sign, the board sets the thickness: Correx at 3.5 mm, Foamex at 5 mm and Dibond at 3 mm. Foamex is a lightweight PVC foam board. Dibond has aluminium on both faces around a plastic middle, so it stays flat and firm but is easy to fix. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?
Two good companions for it are Sound Horn Sign and 5 mph Speed Limit Sign. Each has a page of its own with every size, material and a live price, and picking one material for all of them makes the wall look like a matching set. Put the lot in a single basket and you pay one delivery charge, which drops to nothing when the goods reach £100. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign in the evening?
Only if a light falls on it. The Correx, Foamex and Dibond versions are printed without any reflective or glow-in-the-dark layer. So for a church car park, a school path or a yard used on winter evenings, put it beneath a lamp that is already there, or add a light. If your risk assessment says a sign has to reflect or glow, buy that one from a firm that makes them. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Will a 10 mph Speed Limit Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
"10 mph Speed Limit" can go outside as long as you match the material to the job. For a sign that stays out for years, Dibond is the one to choose. Correx is waterproof and happy outdoors for shorter spells. Foamex will manage a sheltered spot, such as a porch or under a canopy, but it is really an indoor board. Strong sun slowly fades any print, so glance at outdoor signs every so often and swap any that have become hard to read. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
What is the easiest way to put up a 10 mph Speed Limit Sign?
It depends what "10 mph Speed Limit" is going on. Brick or plaster: screws through holes near the corners, washers under the heads, and a light hand (Foamex especially). Painted doors and smooth walls inside: foam tape or sticky pads, no drilling needed. Fences and railings: cable ties, or a post, for the Correx board. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Which material is cheapest for the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign?
Taking the smallest size, A3 (297 × 420 mm), as the example: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.35, 5mm Foamex at £30.28 and 3.5mm Correx at £26.07. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more.
Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?
Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. Keep a copy of the print file in a shared folder so whoever orders next year can find it. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for this sign is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
Can I send this sign back if I no longer need it?
Not for a change of mind. This sign is made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07.
How do I work out how many 10 mph Speed Limit signs to order?
Start at the gate or front door and walk the route a visitor or a new member of staff would follow. Wherever the message matters and might be missed, it needs a sign: at every way in, on the way up to the danger and wherever the route turns. A big yard, car park or hall often needs several copies, and a sign read from further off should be larger. Identical signs can share one basket line with a quantity; give a different size or material its own line. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?
Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
Our club needs a big batch of signs, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
What if A1 (594 × 841 mm) is still too small for the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign?
The size list tops out at A1 (594 × 841 mm), starting at £51.39. Anything bigger is priced on request: send the size, the material and how many through our quote form. A board over A0 counts as oversize for delivery, which adds £15 to the order once.
The spot gets full sun all afternoon. Could this sign warp in the heat?
It depends on the board. Foamex is foamed plastic, and a large, thin sheet in strong sun can curve, most of all when it is held only at the corners. Dibond sandwiches a core between aluminium skins and stays flat, which is why people choose it for signs that live outdoors for years. If you go with Foamex, fix it flat to a wall along its length or pick a thicker option. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Could the 10 mph Speed Limit Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?
It can, held on with double-sided foam tape or a couple of screws. On a flat door, the 5mm Foamex board with foam tape on the back is a good alternative. Aim for eye height, either beside the door or on the side people push, so an open door does not hide it. Fire doors are different: ask the person responsible for the building before you drill into one.
Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?
Foamex and Correx cut cleanly with a sharp craft knife run along a metal rule: score it a few times, then cut or snap along the line. Dibond is aluminium on both faces, so use a fine-tooth saw and take it slowly. Holes for screws or ties can be made with a normal drill bit at low speed; keep each hole 10 mm or more in from the edge. Trimming eats into the bleed area, so leave room in the design if you plan to trim anything off. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
What is the safest way to clean this sign?
For "10 mph Speed Limit", warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Avoid solvents, scouring pads and harsh cleaning products, as they can dull the print or lift it. Keep any spare boards lying flat to stop them bowing. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
