Overview
This information sign shows riders where bikes and motorbikes park or cross. Typical homes for it are stations, schools, offices and car parks. Our cycle crossing ahead sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.
Cycle crossing ahead sign printing: choosing the board
For cycle crossing ahead 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.
Reading the sign
It reads "Cycle Crossing Ahead". Blue and white is the information look: calm, plain and easy to take in on the move.
Putting it up
On the way in and at the parking area itself. In a car park, signs do most good at the entrance and wherever drivers slow down, so they are read before anyone parks.
The right size for cycle crossing ahead sign printing depends on the reading distance. 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. Pick bigger for car parks, yards and long runs of corridor.
On private land the signs are effectively your terms of use. If a parking company runs the car park, check the wording and sizes they need as well.
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. Every cycle crossing ahead sign printing order is made to order and dispatched 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.
Close relatives: car park 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.
| 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 cycle crossing ahead sign printing.
Which size of Cycle Crossing Ahead sign can be read from across the room or yard?
Measure the distance first, then match it: 12 m calls for A3 (297 × 420 mm), 17 m calls for A2 (420 × 594 mm) and 24 m calls for A1 (594 × 841 mm). Traffic, dim corners or glare all justify going one size bigger. The largest, A1 (594 × 841 mm), is the choice for wide open spaces.
Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "Cycle Crossing Ahead"?
No, ISO 7010 has no pictogram for this exact message. So the sign is words only, set in the usual blue and white information layout.
Where do I fix the Cycle Crossing Ahead sign?
For "Cycle Crossing Ahead", the usual spot is at the parking area and along the route leading to it. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.
Does the law say I must put up a Cycle Crossing Ahead sign?
No law requires one on private land, but the signs are how you set the terms for anyone who parks there. If a parking operator runs the site for you, check their signage rules too. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions for "Cycle Crossing Ahead".
Can I buy more than one Cycle Crossing Ahead 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. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.
Is the price shown for the "Cycle Crossing Ahead" sign the full price?
Yes, for the goods. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.
Why is the Cycle Crossing Ahead sign in these colours?
Blue with white is used for general information and site rules. The "Cycle Crossing Ahead" sign uses that standard layout, so people read its meaning before the words.
Will the Cycle Crossing Ahead 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 Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign set me back?
£27.52 is where the Cycle Crossing Ahead 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 £27.52 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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. On this page, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign starts from £27.52.
If I buy the Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign today, when will it leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for the Cycle Crossing Ahead 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.
Dibond, Foamex or Correx: which should we pick for a Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign?
"Cycle Crossing Ahead" might go up at a school, a park path or a business 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.
Which sizes can the Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign be printed in?
Smallest: A3 (297 × 420 mm), from £27.52. Biggest: A1 (594 × 841 mm), from £54.24. 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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. For reference, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).
How big does our Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?
Stand where someone first needs to read "Cycle Crossing Ahead" 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.
What will people understand when they see a Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign?
Its job is to give people directions or clear instructions: "Cycle Crossing Ahead" is laid out as an information sign. There is no ISO 7010 pictogram for "Cycle Crossing Ahead", so the words alone carry the meaning. You will find it useful at a school, a park path or a business park. Word for word, this sign says "Cycle Crossing Ahead".
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 £27.52, and any bank card will do. 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. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign starts from £27.52.
How much does an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign cost?
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.

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; "Cycle Crossing Ahead" comes in A3, A2 and A1.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. For reference, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 (297 × 420 mm).
Is there a quicker turnaround for this sign?
Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign out, against 5 on Saver, and costs £36.71 on the opening option rather than £27.52. 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 Cycle Crossing Ahead 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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. On this page, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign starts from £27.52.
Can the wording on a Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign be changed, or our logo added?
A school can add its crest to "Cycle Crossing Ahead", 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).
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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
What thickness is the Cycle Crossing Ahead 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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
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 Cycle Parking Arrow Sign and Dead End No Turn Around 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.
Will a Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
"Cycle Crossing Ahead" 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.
It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Cycle Crossing Ahead 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
What is the easiest way to put up a Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign?
It depends what "Cycle Crossing Ahead" 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 Cycle Crossing Ahead 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. Material choices for Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
I am not sure which options to pick for this sign. Can someone advise me?
Of course. Tell us three things: where this sign will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign starts from £27.52.
How do I work out how many Cycle Crossing Ahead 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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52.
We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?
One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all.
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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
Can I swap my file once I have paid?
It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign starts from £27.52.
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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Material choices for Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?
You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
Who looks after me once I have bought the Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign?
You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, the Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign is printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers it with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.
Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?
Good contrast, a simple bold typeface and the right size for the reading distance make the biggest difference. Our standard safety designs already use the high-contrast colour combinations set out for safety signs. Put it at eye level in good light, away from reflections, and use as few words as possible. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 (297 × 420 mm).
Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?
Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
Does a Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign come upright or wide?
Portrait. "Cycle Crossing Ahead" is offered in A3, A2 and A1. That shape is made for doors, posts and slim wall spaces. If your spot needs the opposite, pick one of the paid design options and we re-lay it to suit. 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 Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign?
The size list tops out at A1 (594 × 841 mm), starting at £54.24. 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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 (297 × 420 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Cycle Crossing Ahead Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
Could the Cycle Crossing Ahead 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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

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.
