When it comes to managing roadworks—whether a short-term maintenance job or a multi-week construction project—clear, compliant signage is non-negotiable. Temporary roadwork signs not only keep workers and motorists safe, but also ensure legal compliance and public confidence.
From Perth’s growing infrastructure projects to regional upgrades across Australia, Civil Products WA delivers reliable temporary signage solutions built for Australian road conditions and traffic standards.
🚧 What Are Temporary Roadwork Safety Signs?
Temporary roadwork signs are portable traffic control devices designed to alert drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians of upcoming works, detours, reduced speed zones, or changing traffic conditions. These signs are typically made from lightweight, durable materials and installed using sign stands or portable frames.
They are essential in:
- Road resurfacing and maintenance
- Civil construction zones
- Utility works and emergency repairs
- Local council upgrades and footpath improvements
- Event traffic control and detour management
Whether it’s a day job or a month-long project, temporary signs are a must-have for managing road user expectations and safety.
✅ Why Temporary Safety Signs Matter in Roadwork Zones
1. Protect Workers and Road Users
With fast-moving traffic and machinery onsite, clear signage is your first line of defence.
- Alerts drivers to slow down or change lanes
- Creates safe buffer zones around workers
- Reduces risk of vehicle-pedestrian or vehicle-equipment collisions
2. Ensure Legal Compliance
In Australia, road authorities such as Main Roads WA and other state departments have strict regulations regarding roadwork signage.
- Signs must meet AS 1742.3 traffic control standards
- Proper wording, colour, and reflectivity are critical
- Helps avoid fines, shutdowns, or liability in case of incidents
3. Quick Setup, Easy Relocation
Designed to be lightweight yet stable, temporary signs are made for flexibility.
- Attach to foldable metal stands or weighted bases
- Easy to move, reposition, and transport
- Ideal for changing traffic layouts or short-duration tasks

Our signs are built tough—UV-resistant, waterproof, and wind-stable—to handle everything from outback heat to coastal storms.
