Tourism signs

The tourist industry has long recognised the benefits of adequate and distinctive signs for visitors and tourists. 'Brown' tourist signs help visitors to find the attraction as well as promoting it to potential visitors.

There are two authorities that control signs:

  • The Highways Agency controls eligibility for brown signs on national trunk road networks (which includes most motorways).
  • Local Authorities have their own policies on the provision of brown signs on local roads (i.e. all roads other than trunk roads).

You can download the relevant 'brown' tourism signs application form (below) for the area the proposed sign falls within.
