This page provides references to other Transport Scotland guidance and advice, which is relevant to traffic signs and road markings in Scotland.

Transport Scotland’s position on this matter makes reference to non-prescribed sign applications, and what might be deemed acceptable in appropriate circumstances. The information is therefore relevant to all public roads.

The design principles which form the basis of the directional signing system across the UK are set out in Department for Transport (DfT) Local Transport Note (LTN) 1/94.

The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) is a regulatory document which details every traffic sign and road marking prescribed for use in the UK. The TSRGD also stipulates the conditions under which each sign may be used.

Following devolution of powers over traffic signs, secondary legislation has been introduced to enact Amendments to the TSRGD in Scotland. “The Traffic Signs Amendment (Scotland) Regulations and General Directions 2018” did not significantly deviate from regulations across the UK. “The Traffic Signs Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2022” was broader in scope and included (but was not limited to) the introduction of signs for Low Emission Zone schemes.

Traffic signing in Scotland is to be in accordance with the TSRGD 2016 legislation and both of the associated Scottish Amendments.

The following documents contain information on previously authorised Non-Prescribed signs (NPs) and the application process:

Where there is no suitable prescribed sign in the TSRGD for a specific purpose, an application can be made to the Scottish Government for authorisation to use a specially designed Non-Prescribed sign in Scotland. Applications to use a Non-Prescribed sign or marking may only be made by the relevant Road Authority.

Powers over traffic signs were devolved to Scottish Ministers under the Scotland Act 2016. Prior to this the TSRGD was applied on a UK wide basis by the Department for Transport.

Where Gaelic language versions of destinations are to be included on direction signs, reference should be made to the database of Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba at ainmean-aite.scot. This is the definitive source of correct Gaelic language versions of destinations to be used on road signs.

This approach does not require immediate replacement of signs, and should be applied where signs are being replaced or new signs installed.

Transport Scotland has established a rationale for introducing bilingual direction signs on trunk roads that serve communities where Gaelic is spoken. Advice on this policy is presented in the Scottish Government Gaelic language plan 2022 to 2027. View Guidance on the use of Bilingual (Gaelic – English) Traffic Signs in Scotland.

This document provides guidance primarily to Scottish tourism businesses on Transport Scotland’s responsibilities for brown tourist signs on Scotland’s strategic roads. The guidance is intended to help applicants to know if their business will be eligible for brown signs and to understand the process of applying to have signs erected.

Traffic signs working drawings detail the design of all traffic signs from the TSRGD. The working drawings are for use by traffic sign professionals manufacturing traffic signs. The majority of working drawings in TSRGD are provided by the Department for Transport on the UK Government website:

Supplementary guidance (to be read with Traffic Signs Manual chapter 7 section 15) relating to the design of bilingual traffic signs, addressing sign face layout and the destinations to be signed.

Lightweight and portable for intensive and frequent use on multiple and/or large scale spillages. High Absorbency GV Health Cyto Granules absorb and contain liquid spills. Absorbent pads and sterile water mop up powder spills. Our custom Cytali solution, designed to neutralise cytotoxic residue of spill site and surrounding area. Warning signs and colour coded, sealable bags for safe disposal.

The guidance is specific to the trunk road network, and local authorities can determine their own policies for the use of Gaelic destinations on signs on their local roads as appropriate.

Where Scotland-specific traffic signs and road markings have been introduced by Amendments, working drawings are provided here. All working drawings include illustrations of the sign and provide relevant dimensions, information relating to sign colours, and other associated notes.

Cytotoxic spillmanagement

In accordance with Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions, directional signs with a green background are to be used on the all-purpose Primary Route network, and those with a white background on all other non-motorway routes.

Again, this approach does not require immediate replacement of signs, and should be applied where signs are being replaced or new signs installed.

The traffic signs manual gives guidance on the use of traffic signs and road markings prescribed by the Traffic Signs Regulations and covers Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is available on the UK Government website, where revised editions of the manual will be published as they are released.

Responses to the Local Government Reform (Shaping the Trunk Road Network) consultation in 1995, suggested that green signs should be retained exclusively for the trunk road network. A letter was issued in May 2019 to all Scottish local authorities to clarify the position regarding the background colour of directional signs on the Scottish road network. The letter confirmed that directional signs with a green background should be used exclusively on routes forming part of the trunk road network. Directional signs with a white background should be used on all other all-purpose routes.

Anti-cancer medicines: Cytotoxic medications is taken to mean toxic compounds known to have carcinogenic, mutagenic and/or teratogenic potential. Our Cytotoxic / Chemotherapy drug spill & disposal products ensure safe clean up & removal.

LTN 1/94 sets out the concept of Primary Destinations, which are prioritised for forward destination signing on the Primary Route network. The Primary Destinations in Scotland to be used on directional signs are listed below. This supersedes the list published in Appendix C of LTN 1/94.

This paper is intended to inform managers, designers and stakeholders with an interest in the use of warning signs as a means of reducing the occurrences of wildlife casualties on Scotland’s roads. It sets out the rationale behind the adopted position of Transport Scotland in determining what signs are appropriate for installation with regard to wildlife.
