Traffic Sign Surveys
A1(M) Traffic Sign Condition Surveys
DST Contracting Ltd was awarded the contract to carry out comprehensive traffic sign condition surveys along the A1(M) between Alconbury and Peterborough. Our team developed a custom survey form aligned with the Inspection and Assessment Standard CS125, ensuring all data collected met the client’s exact requirements.
The survey encompassed all illuminated and non-illuminated traffic signs located on verges and central reservations, including gantry signage. Each sign was assessed for condition, visibility, and compliance, providing our client with a complete and accurate record for future maintenance planning.
A417/A419 Traffic Sign Survey
Following the success of the A1(M) project, DST Contracting Ltd was also commissioned to complete full traffic sign surveys along a 33-mile section of the A417/A419 between Swindon and Gloucester.
This extensive survey covered thousands of individual sign installations. Over 8,000 high-resolution photographs were captured to accompany the detailed survey report, offering comprehensive visual documentation of each traffic sign assembly and its on-site visibility.
Our professional approach, attention to detail, and commitment to quality ensure that every survey delivers accurate, reliable data to support highway asset management and compliance with current standards.
