### Protect Yourself Legally
A **private road sign** isn't just discouragement - it's legal protection. Establishes the road is private property, limits your liability if someone injures themselves, helps with insurance. Quick to install, worth having.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Add "Private Road - No Public Right of Way" rather than just "Private" - clearer legal position if disputes arise.

Good to Know
> ⚠️ **Legal effect:** A sign alone doesn't create private road status - it just makes existing status clear. Check your legal position with deeds/solicitor if you're uncertain about road ownership. **Maintenance:** Check annually, clean if dirty, replace if faded. Evidence of continuous signage matters legally - don't let it fall into disrepair. **Additional wording:** Some people add "CCTV in operation", "Private parking enforcement", or specific access restrictions. Keep it clear and simple for best legal effect. **Multiple entrances:** If your private road has several access points, sign them all - can't rely on people having seen one at a different entrance. **Highways position:** Don't mount signs on highway land without permission - they can be removed. Keep to your own land or get proper approval.
Frequently Asked Questions about Private road sign installation in Tiverton
Why install a private road sign?
Legally establishes the road is private (limits your liability), deters unwanted traffic, helps with insurance claims if trespassers damage themselves. Simple sign, potentially important legally - worth doing properly.
Where should private road signs go?
Entrance to the private road where it meets public highway - needs to be obvious to anyone entering. If it's a long private road serving multiple properties, you might want signs at intervals. I'll advise on positioning when I see your setup.
Do I need permission to put up private road signs?
On your own private land, generally no. If mounting on highway verges or near junctions, you need highways authority permission. I can install them but you need to check permissions first - your responsibility.
Can you install signs on gates or posts?
Yes - existing gates, fence posts, walls, or dedicated sign posts. I'll use appropriate fixings for whatever you're mounting to. Signs on gates sometimes work loose with constant movement - I'll fix them properly.
What size sign do I need?
Big enough to be clearly visible to approaching vehicles - typically A3 or A2 size minimum. Larger for fast approaches or poor visibility. I can advise what suits your situation when I visit.
