Road signs in the United Kingdom

This page is under construction, and perhaps always will be. It is intended to help those mappers in the UK that are new to the project, or those more experienced but encountering something new to them, work out what is probably the best way to tag it.

Please note: This is intended as a guide based on what contributors to the page think is best. There may be other equally acceptable alternatives - if so add them to this page with an "or" separator or discuss first on the discussion page.

Please also note: Some of the tags here may not appear in Map Features and are suggestions instead to cover a requirement. As a result, some validator tools may highlight them as errors to be checked.

Under UK regulations painted longitudinal and transverse road markings are as equally traffic signs as signs attached to poles next to the road. They have their own identifier codes in the regulations in the same way.

Warning signs

Shape is generally triangular.

Note: Not many warning signs are currently shown here, as there doesn't seem to be much in information on how to tag them. In the longer term, many warnings will apply to a section of road between similar warning signs at either end of the section. Feel free to add more warning signs with a suggested tagging method.

510		Roundabout	junction=roundabout on how to tag the roundabout itself.	Item:Q23131
512		Bend ahead	hazard=curve	Item:Q23148
513		Double bend or series of bends ahead	hazard=curves
516		Road narrows on both sides ahead	hazard=road_narrows lanes=1 may apply to the way beyond the sign The associated plate legend may be: A distance; “Single file traffic” with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; “Single file traffic” and a distance, with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; “Single file traffic for” and a distance; “Single track road” with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; “Single track road” or “Single track road for” and a distance, with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; or “Oncoming vehicles in middle of road”
517		Road narrows on one side ahead	hazard=road_narrows lanes=1 may apply to the way beyond the sign The associate plate legend may be: A distance; “Single file traffic” with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; “Single file traffic” and a distance, with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; “Single file traffic for” and a distance; “Single track road” with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; “Single track road” or “Single track road for” and a distance, with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; or “Oncoming vehicles in middle of road”
520		Dual carriageway road ends ahead	The associated plate legend may be: A distance; “Single file traffic”, with or without a distance; or “Single file traffic for” and a distance
521		Two-way traffic ahead	The associated plate legend may be: A distance; or “For” and a distance
522		Two-way traffic on route crossing ahead	The associated plate legend may be a distance
523.1		Steep hill downwards	incline=value% Note: in OSM the percentage is +ve or −ve to indicate up or down relative to the direction the way has been drawn. See Key:incline. The tag should be applied between the warning of steep hill downwards at the top and (if present) the warning further down the hill of steep hill upwards for oncoming traffic.
524.1		Steep hill upwards	incline=value% Note: in OSM the percentage is +ve or −ve to indicate up or down relative to the direction the way has been drawn. See Key:incline
528		Hump bridge ahead	Tag the bridge with bridge:structure=humpback
529		Opening or swing bridge ahead	Tag the bridge with bridge=movable + bridge:movable=*
529.1		Tunnel ahead	Tag the tunnel way with tunnel=yes + layer=*	Item:Q23139
530		Height restriction warning	maxheight=14'6" Where only imperial dimensions are given, it is recommended that the tag value be entered exactly as is on the sign, which is likely to always include inches even if they are 0. A conversion to a metric height is unlikely to be the same as the limit imposed if the restriction is later updated to a dual units sign, as there are rules to do with rounding that are used for safety reasons. Signs installed after 2016 will have both imperial and metric measurements. Use Metric on OSM if displayed.
543		Traffic Lights	highway=traffic_signals + traffic_signals=signal

559		Falling rocks	hazard=falling_rocks on a way/node.
584		Traffic queues likely on road ahead	hazard=queues_likely on a way/node. The associated plate legend may be: “Queues likely” with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; or “Queues likely on slip road” with or without an arrow pointing to the left or to the right
779		Electrified overhead cable ahead	maxheight=* The associated plate legend may be: “Safe height” and numerals indicating height in imperial units and, in brackets, the height in metric units, with or without “load gauge”; or As legend 1 and— a distance; an arrow pointing to the left or to the right; or a distance and an arrow pointing to the left or to the right
950		Cycle route ahead	hazard=cyclists on a way/node.

Regulatory signs

Shape is generally round.

Speed limit signs

Sign	Image	Description	Tags/Comments	Data item
670		Maximum speed	maxspeed=50 mph Note: While units are (usually) mentioned as being allowed in Map Features, there is a time when they weren't and some mappers tried tagging with just a number based on the speed converted to km/h (with no units, maxspeed is in km/h) with various different roundings, most of which didn't match those posted on signs at exits of ports. It is therefore better to add the mph suffix to be precise. Note: When a speed limit begins at a T-junction, the sign may be up to 20 metres from the start of the limit. It's not correct to tag a short way with the same limit as the main road!	Item:Q23145
671		National speed limit	maxspeed=60mph + maxspeed:type=GB:nsl_single or maxspeed=70mph + maxspeed:type=GB:nsl_dual + dual_carriageway=yes or maxspeed=70mph + maxspeed:type=GB:motorway The relevant national speed limit applies. For cars, this is currently 70 mph on motorways and dual carriageways, 60 mph on non-motorway single carriageways, including street-lit roads - but only when signed with the national speed limit sign. Because the national limit varies by road type and vehicle type, and because Parliament could change the limit in future without all signs needing changing, it was previously suggested that it might be better to use maxspeed=national rather than maxspeed=60 mph (or whatever) in case any future changes then force a resurvey of every way tagged with =60 mph. The current recommendation is to tag the highest limit across all vehicle types using the maxspeed key and then add a maxspeed:type key with country-specific values, such as GB:nsl_single or GB:nsl_dual (the non-standard country code "UK" is also seen in places). This has the benefits that clients such as the Open Source Routing Machine can simply use the maxspeed key (but could additionally support country-specific, vehicle-specific maximum speeds), but still permit the update of country-specific national speed limits non-ambiguously.
672		Minimum speed limit in mph	minspeed=30 mph Vehicles must keep their speed above the stated minimum speed.
673		End of minimum speed limit	Vehicles must keep their speed above the stated minimum speed.
674		Entering 20mph zone	maxspeed=20 mph + maxspeed:type=GB:zone20 20 zones tend to be residential areas with traffic calming measures, with a 20 mph maximum speed throughout the zone. At the exits from the zones there is a different sign which indicates both the end of the 20 mph limit and what the new speed limit is beyond the zone. Unlike ordinary 20mph limits, 20 zones are intended to be self-enforcing by the traffic calming system. Note: The similar looking "Twenty's Plenty" signs (with a green, not red, circle) are not legal limits and should be signed with maxspeed:advisory=20 mph.
675A		End of a 20 mph speed limit zone with indication of maximum speed limit in mph (England only)	maxspeed=* + maxspeed:type=sign or maxspeed=* + maxspeed:type=GB:nsl_restricted
675B		End of a 20 mph speed limit zone with indication that national speed limits apply (England only)	maxspeed=60 mph + maxspeed:type=GB:nsl_single or maxspeed=70 mph + maxspeed:type=GB:nsl_dual
676		Entering 40mph zone	maxspeed=40 mph + maxspeed:type=GB:zone40 40 zones appear to be quite rare.
976		Maximum speed limit for tramcars in kilometres per hour	maxspeed=* (on a railway=tram) maxspeed:tram=* (on a highway=* + embedded_rails=tram) As the limit is in kilometres per hour, the speed does not need to be followed with 'mph'.
		Variable speed limit zone	maxspeed:variable=yes Indicates that the speed limit may be dynamically lowered based on conditions. The reduced maximum speed in force will be displayed (using sign 670) via LED signs at the side of the road or overhead on gantries. Usually found on motorways.

Vehicular type restrictions

Other vehicular type restrictions

Signs for regulatory requirements for moving traffic which are not prohibitions, from TSRGD 2016 Schedules 3 and 9.

Sign	Image	Description	Tags/Comments
610 608		Dual carriageway	dual_carriageway=yes on the highway.
611.1		Mini Roundabout	highway=mini_roundabout to the intersection node where the mini roundabout is located. Also add direction=clockwise.

Size/weight restrictions

Sign	Image	Description	Tags/comments	Data item
626		Vehicles, or vehicles and load, exceeding figure indicated prohibited. (1965-1981)	maxweight=* The weight specified is in imperial (long) tons, so the unit "lt" is needed, e.g. maxweight=25 lt	Item:Q23152
626.1		Vehicles or vehicles and load exceeding the weight indicated in tonnes prohibited. (1981-1994)	maxweight=*
626.2A		Vehicles exceeding the maximum gross weight indicated prohibited from crossing the bridge or other structure	maxweightrating=* These are all signposted in metric tonnes, which is the default for this tag. The sign may be varied to say "weak road". There may also be an exemption for empty vehicles. The older pre-TSRGD 1994 version of this sign can still be found in some places (diagram 626.1, last used in TSRGD 1981) and uses a capital T and without the abbreviation "mgw". This sign means "Vehicles or vehicles and load exceeding the weight indicated in tonnes prohibited" and should be tagged as maxweight=* instead.	Item:Q23105
628.1	(this is actually the Vienna Convention sign, the version in TSRGD 1981 uses a capital T)	Vehicles or vehicles and load exceeding the weight indicated in tonnes on any one axle prohibited. (?-1994)	maxaxleload=*
629		Vehicles exceeding width indicated prohibited (imperial units only, 1964-2016)	maxwidth=* traffic_calming=choker may also apply Where only imperial dimensions are given, it is recommended that the tag value be entered exactly as is on the sign, which is likely to always include inches even if they are 0. A conversion to a metric width is unlikely to be the same as the limit imposed if the restriction is later updated to a dual units sign, as there are rules to do with rounding that are used for safety reasons.	Item:Q23153
629A		Vehicles exceeding the width indicated prohibited in both metric and imperial units	maxwidth=* traffic_calming=choker may also apply Where both metric and imperial dimensions are given, the metric version should be used, which is the default unit for the tag. The metric width is unlikely to be an exact conversion of the imperial.	Item:Q23150
629.1		Maximum length (may use either imperial or metric units)	maxlength=* Where only imperial dimensions are given, it is recommended that the tag value be entered exactly as is on the sign.	Item:Q23106
629.2		Maximum height (imperial only)	maxheight=14'6" Where only imperial dimensions are given, it is recommended that the tag value be entered exactly as is on the sign, which is likely to always include inches even if they are 0. A conversion to a metric height is unlikely to be the same as the limit imposed if the restriction is later updated to a dual units sign, as there are rules to do with rounding that are used for safety reasons.
629.2A		Maximum height (metric and imperial)	maxheight=4.4 Where both metric and imperial dimensions are given, the metric version should be used, which is the default unit for the tag. The metric height is unlikely to be an exact conversion of the imperial.	Item:Q23103

Give way and stop signs

Sign	Image	Description	Tags/comments
602		Give way	highway=give_way before the junction
601.1		Stop	highway=stop before the junction

Turn restrictions

Note: It should not be necessary to tag restrictions such as no left turn where the destination which is prohibited is oneway in such a way that it would be no entry from that end anyway. Turn restriction relations are more for use in situations such as no right turn onto a busy twoway road from a side road. In other words it isn't necessary to add a turn restriction relation every time there is a sign (though there should be no harm in doing so if correctly tagged and not contradicting other tags).

Sign	Image	Description	Tags/comments
613		No left turn	restriction=no_left_turn See Relation:restriction for details.
612		No right turn	restriction=no_right_turn See Relation:restriction for details.
614		No U turn	restriction=no_u_turn See Relation:restriction for details.

Other prohibitory signs

Sign	Image	Description	Tags/comments	Data item
616		No entry	When the direction of the way is the same as the driving direction oneway=yes When the direction of the way is the opposite of the driving direction oneway=yes Reverse the direction of the way. At the entrance to a road where some classes of vehicle are excepted (shown on a white plate below the sign) vehicle=no + (e.g.) bus=designated, taxi=designated, etc. In bus stations which are not part of the public road network vehicle=private + bus=designated + any other signed exceptions, as maintenance and cleaning vehicles are generally allowed. On a public road, this would require an explicit exception on a plate and/or in the traffic order.	Item:Q23107
632		No overtaking	overtaking=*
642		No stopping	parking:both=no + parking:both:restriction=no_stopping (or parking:left=* / parking:right=*, whichever is applicable, depending on the direction of the way, and on the side for which the restriction applies to).

Cycle and pedestrian signs

Tags for cycle tracks drawn as a separate way

Sign	Image	Description	Classic tagging style	Alternative tagging style
955		Route for use by pedal cycles and electric scooters being used in a trial, only (not intended for pedestrians)	highway=cycleway; foot=no*	highway=path; bicycle=designated; foot=no*; surface=paved
956		Route for use by pedal cycles, electric scooters being used in a trial and pedestrians only	highway=cycleway	highway=path; foot=designated;bicycle=designated; surface=paved
957		Route comprising two ways for use by pedal cycles and electric scooters being used in a trial, only and by pedestrians only, with those ways separated by [a solid white line], or by physical means	highway=cycleway; segregated=yes	highway=path; foot=designated; cycleway=lane; (implies bicycle=designated) surface=paved

* : The route is not intended for pedestrians, but use is not prohibited. Before tagging as foot=no please check that there is a convenient alternative route for pedestrians nearby (e.g. a footway or road).

Information signs

Shape is generally rectangular.

Sign	Image	Description	Tags/comments	Data item
801		Parking	amenity=parking Lay-bys are often tagged as amenity=parking fee=no parking=layby
811A		Priority over oncoming vehicles	priority=forward/backward
816		No through road	noexit=yes There is an argument that this tag is unnecessary as it should be possible to determine whether a road is a through route or not based on the topology of ways. Some validation tools apparently can use this tag to distinguish between a no through road that ends near another road, and giving a warning for a road which perhaps hasn't been properly joined to a nearby road.
817.2		Escape lane	highway=escape
820		Route unsuitable for type of vehicle indicated	Tagging depends on the text of the sign: Unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles hgv=discouraged Unsuitable for articulated vehicles hgv_articulated=discouraged Unsuitable for motor vehicles motor_vehicle=discouraged Unsuitable for wide vehicles ? Unsuitable for long vehicles ? Unsuitable for buses bus=discouraged Unsuitable for trailers trailer=discouraged Unsuitable for caravans caravan=discouraged Unsuitable for HGVs hgv=discouraged This is only a warning, access is not prohibited. Note that there wasn't a method to tag this in the past, so a note such as note=Unsuitable for motors was used.
878		Speed Camera in Operation	See Relation:enforcement#Examples for marking any actual cameras. Repeater/reminder signs may not include the "speed camera" text. Signs for average speed check areas (where the vehicle's average speed between to cameras is calculated) will include the text "Average speed check" instead.
881		Start of a home zone designated under section 268 of the Transport Act 2000, or section 74(1) of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2001	highway=living_street
965		End of cycle lane, track or route	bicycle=dismount
966		Pedal cyclists and drivers of electric scooters being used in a trial to rejoin main carriageway or dismount at the end of, or at a break in, a cycle track or route	Permitted variants in TSRGD 2016 are "CYCLISTS DISMOUNT" and "CYCLISTS REJOIN CARRIAGEWAY". bicycle=dismount
968 or 968.1		Cycle parking	amenity=bicycle_parking
2402.1		Primary or non‑primary route sign indicating the name of a city, town or village commencing immediately ahead	traffic_sign=city_limit name=*
2403.1		Primary or non-primary route sign indicating the name of a city, town or village immediately ahead, together with extra local information	traffic_sign=city_limit name=*
2404		Primary or non-primary route sign indicating the name of a city, town, village, an administrative area, a ceremonial area or an historic county area immediately ahead, together with phrase and image that is representative of the city, town, village or area	traffic_sign=city_limit name=*

Painted road markings

In the UK, road markings painted along (longitudinal) or across (transverse) the highway are defined as traffic signs in the same way as signs attached to poles. By their nature transverse road markings should be tagged to nodes within ways and longitudinal road markings should be tagged to sections of ways. Transverse road markings may only cross one side or cross both sides of the carriageway and so the direction of the way they affect should be tagged. Longitudinal markings may separate sides of the carriageway, mark lanes within a carriageway, mark the edge of the carriageway or govern parking, waiting or stopping along the carriageway.
