Signs for tourist attractions and facilities

Use of temporary black and yellow signs

Black and yellow temporary signs (RAC or AA style signs) will be permitted for tourist venues if:

  • attractions and facilities are seasonal. An application for tourism signs is still required and the venue will be re-vetted every five years as normal. 
  • waiting for permanent tourism signing and there are time pressures

In both situations, temporary signing contractor details will be supplied. We will approve all sign locations with the contractor. The applicant will form a contract with the temporary sign company. They will erect and remove the signs according to seasonal opening periods and will maintain the signs whilst they are in position. The applicant will be required to meet all costs involved.   

Where approved tourist signing is in place, temporary signs for ‘special events’ are not usually allowed.  However, we may make an exception for traffic management reasons.
