What these signs are used for

R200 Series Prohibition Signs are used to prevent unsafe or unauthorised actions by clearly indicating what is not allowed.

How they are visually identified

The red circular border and diagonal bar provide immediate recognition of a prohibited action.

Materials and design proportions

Designs follow fixed layouts and proportions defined in the Manual, with reflective signfaces to support visibility in day and night conditions.

Approved sizes

Approved sizes vary by sign type and road classification, with dimensions selected to ensure adequate viewing distance and reaction time.

These signs are manufactured in accordance with SADC-RTSM and are aligned with internationally recognised road signage principles, including SANS 1519 for retroreflective signface materials.

Selection and compliance guidance

Select the correct R200 sign code first, then confirm size and reflective performance based on traffic speed, approach distance, and installation location.
