When planning roadworks or managing traffic flow, it’s essential to understand the difference between temporary and permanent road signs. At Madave Signs, we specialise in both, supplying municipalities, construction companies, and private contractors with compliant, high-quality signage.

Temporary Road Signs

  • Typically made from Correx or ABS plastic
  • Used in road construction zones, detours, and short-term events
  • Lightweight, easy to install and remove
  • Often mounted on movable stands

Permanent Road Signs

  • Made with Chromadek, Aluminium, or other weather-resistant materials
  • Used for regulatory, warning, and directional purposes
  • Fixed installations with poles and foundations
  • Designed for long-term exposure and compliance with SABS standards

Key Differences

  • Purpose: Short-term use vs long-term infrastructure
  • Material: Lightweight vs heavy-duty
  • Installation: Portable vs permanent fixtures

Madave Signs offers both types of signage with competitive pricing and nationwide delivery. Whether you're managing a temporary construction zone or upgrading public infrastructure, our team is ready to assist.
