Requests for new and temporary signs

Surrey County Council provides the signs necessary for safe and efficient navigation of the roads.

We recognise the importance of accurate, appropriate signing for safe navigation to a range of destinations, but also the distraction and clutter that can result from too many signs.

Please see our new road sign requests policy (PDF) for full details on how we decide which signs to provide and where.
