Overview

If "15 mph Speed Limit" needs saying clearly, this is the sign, and 15 mph speed limit sign printing is what we do. It puts a speed or driving rule on your own roads and yards, and you will find it in site haul roads, yards, estates and car parks.

15 mph speed limit sign printing: which material

For 15 mph speed limit sign printing, pick the board to suit the spot:

  • 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.

The message

It reads "15 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.

Before you order 15 mph speed limit sign printing, think about how far away people will be. Rule of thumb from ISO 3864-1: each 25 mm on the short side of the sign gives roughly a metre of reading distance. That makes A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Long corridors, yards and car parks need the bigger sizes.

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.

Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first. Every 15 mph speed limit sign printing order is made to order and dispatched from the UK. Delivery to a UK mainland address is £7.95, or free once the order passes £100 after any discount (artwork fees are not counted). Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. Full details are on the delivery page.

Also worth a look: speed limit signs and everything in site, traffic & hoarding signs. The guide to safety sign colours covers the choice in more depth.

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.

SizeReadable 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 15 mph speed limit sign printing.

What size do I need so people can read "15 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.

Is there a standard pictogram that says "15 mph Speed Limit"?

Not one that fits this wording, so the "15 mph Speed Limit" sign is a text-only design in the standard red ring speed limit colours.

Where should the "15 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. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.

Is there a legal rule behind the 15 mph Speed Limit sign?

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. For the "15 mph Speed Limit" sign, your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.

Is the price shown for the "15 mph Speed Limit" sign the full price?

Yes, for the goods. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

Can I buy more than one 15 mph Speed Limit sign?

Yes, change the quantity before you check out; every sign is made to order. Need a big mix of different signs for a school, club or site? Use the Get a quote page. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.

Will the 15 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.

Why is the 15 mph Speed Limit sign in these colours?

A number inside a red ring sets the speed limit. The "15 mph Speed Limit" sign uses that standard layout, so people read its meaning before the words.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A3 (297 × 420 mm) and 3.5mm Correx, the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign comes to £27.52. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £27.52 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

Allow 5 working days on Saver, 3 on Standard or 2 on Express before the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. An order of just this at the opening price of £27.52 is under £100, so it pays the £7.95. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.

Which artwork services are offered with the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. 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). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).

Dibond, Foamex or Correx: which should we pick for a 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

Decide by where "15 mph Speed Limit" is going and how long it has to last. Staying outside for years, or somewhere busy where it may get knocked? 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, with metal skins, is the tough one. Indoors or under a porch? 5mm Foamex gives a light, smooth board. Only needed outside for a few weeks, say on a fence? Go for 3.5mm Correx, which weighs little and shrugs off rain.

Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?

The table has 3 sizes. At the small end, A3 (297 × 420 mm) costs from £27.52; at the top, A1 (594 × 841 mm) costs from £54.24. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand.

Which size of the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "15 mph Speed Limit": about 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. The rule of thumb behind them: each 25 mm of height buys roughly one metre of distance. If the light is poor, or people pass quickly on foot or at the wheel, go for the next size up. The figures use the distance factor from ISO 3864-1, and your own risk assessment should settle the final choice. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Where is the best spot for a 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

Picture someone arriving at a farm track, a caravan park, a private estate road or a car park who needs to see "15 mph Speed Limit". Fix it where the road or car park starts, then again at intervals if the route is long. Give it decent light and a clear line of sight, with nothing parked, stacked or swinging open in front of it. Keep a short list of where each sign went: it slots into your risk assessment records and makes the odd walk-round check quick. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

What message is a 15 mph Speed Limit Sign giving?

This is a words-first design. No ISO 7010 symbol matches "15 mph Speed Limit", so the text does the talking. The design follows the speed limit sign pattern, used to set the speed on car parks, private roads and building sites. Typical spots: a farm track, a caravan park, a private estate road or a car park. Word for word, this sign says "15 mph Speed Limit".

I need several signs, some in different sizes. How do I buy them?

Each price on the page is for a single sign in the size and material chosen. Put the number you want in the box beside Add to basket and the total multiplies. For a different size or material, add it as a separate line; the basket keeps them apart. An artwork fee is charged once per line, whatever the quantity, and choosing to reuse the artwork from another item in your basket costs nothing more. Very large runs can go through Get a quote. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one sign?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign begin at £27.52, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £27.52 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

And the largest sign, A1 (594 × 841 mm): how much is that one?

From £54.24, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £54.24, 5mm Foamex at £78.07 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40. 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for this sign is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

Can I mix different safety signs in a single order?

You can. Each sign gets a separate basket line, with whatever size and board suit it, and you pay once at the end. Delivery is charged per order, not per sign: £7.95 to the UK mainland, or free once the goods come to £100 or more. For "15 mph Speed Limit" the sizes are A3, A2 and A1. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.

Could you price an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign for me?

From £36.41, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £36.41, 5mm Foamex at £47.31 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £61.17. 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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?

Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

Our event is close. Can the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £36.71, where Saver is £27.52 and takes 5 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. 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 a Word or Canva file for the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, 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.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 (594 × 841 mm) layout wants about 7,016 by 9,933 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.

Can the wording on a 15 mph Speed Limit Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "15 mph Speed Limit" or add a logo, pick the typesetting option (£15) for your text and logo on a clean layout, or the design-from-your-brief option (£35), then send us the details. Both paid options include one first draft and two rounds of changes. Uploading your own print-ready file costs nothing, and someone on our team looks it over before printing. Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).

What thickness is the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

That depends on the board you tick: Correx at 3.5 mm, Foamex at 5 mm and Dibond at 3 mm. Dibond feels stiff because a plastic core is sandwiched between two thin aluminium sheets, yet it is still simple to screw or stick up. Foamex is foamed PVC, so it weighs very little in the hand. 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?

A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Sound Horn Sign and 5 mph Speed Limit Sign. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Will a 15 mph Speed Limit Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "15 mph Speed Limit"; sunshine is. Every printed sign fades slowly in strong sun, so make a habit of checking outdoor ones and renew any that have faded too far. Dibond is the board to pick for a permanent outdoor home. Correx is waterproof and suits temporary outdoor use. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. 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 15 mph Speed Limit Sign in the evening?

Not in pitch darkness. Pick Correx, Foamex or Dibond and it is the same story: nothing on this page reflects headlights or glows by itself. Fix it where a street light, porch light or security lamp already shines, or fit a small light above it. Where a risk assessment asks for photoluminescent or reflective signs, those need to come from a specialist maker rather than from us. 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 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

To mount "15 mph Speed Limit" on a wall, drill a hole near each corner of the board and screw it on with a washer under each head; stop once it feels snug, as Foamex in particular does not like being overtightened. Where drilling is not wanted, say on a painted door or a smooth wall inside, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads hold it well. The Correx version is simplest cable tied to a fence or fixed to a post. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Does the material change the price of the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A3 (297 × 420 mm), as the example: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.58, 5mm Foamex at £31.97 and 3.5mm Correx at £27.52. 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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

I am not sure which options to pick for this sign. Can someone advise me?

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the sign will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

I am ordering this sign for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?

No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.

Who looks after me once I have bought the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign is made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2.

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?

Three things help most: strong contrast between the words and the background, a plain bold font, and a size that matches how far away people will be. Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs. Mount the sign at eye height, where it is well lit and not catching glare, and keep the message short. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Can the 15 mph Speed Limit Sign carry wording in two languages, for example English and Welsh?

Yes. Choose the typesetting option (£15) and send us the words in every language you want on it. That covers one first draft and two rounds of changes. We lay out the text exactly as you supply it but we do not translate, so have the translation done first. Leave the symbol and colours as they are, so the meaning is clear whichever language someone reads. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Does a 15 mph Speed Limit Sign come upright or wide?

"15 mph Speed Limit" is laid out in portrait format, available as A3, A2 and A1. Upright layouts fit doors, posts and narrow bits of wall. Need it turned the other way? Choose one of the design options and we will rearrange it for you. 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 15 mph Speed Limit Sign?

We can still help. Put the size you need, the material and the quantity into the quote request form and we will send a price. For reference, the listed range ends at A1 (594 × 841 mm), and that size costs £54.24 or more. Bear in mind that anything past A0 goes by oversize courier, a one-off £15 on the order.

What is the safest way to clean this sign?

Treat "15 mph Speed Limit" gently: a soft cloth and soapy warm water, a rinse, then a dry. Strong cleaners, solvents and scourers can take the shine off the print or lift it, so leave them in the cupboard. Store spares flat, not leaning, to stop them bowing. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
