Road Open for Play Sign

Playing out, active travel and community building can start on your own street. Make it easy and safe for children to learn to cycle and scoot or simply enjoy playing in their own neighbourhood by setting up play street sessions.

This Road Open for Play sign is to help promote play street initiatives – when the road is formally closed for a short time to allow children to play safely in the street. This sign can be temporarily tied to a fence or railings.

• Green ‘Road Open for’ sign featuring street play activities.
• Features four corner holes for temporary tying to railings etc. Additional holes can be easily made if you need to.
• This design features white border and parent watching children scooting, cycling, playing ball from wheelchair, hopscotching and skipping.
• Durable, weather-proof material and UV print.
• Size: 60cm x 45cm.
• Made from recyclable corrugated plastic for outdoor durability and great value (as used for estate agents boards).
• Please note, this product is intended as a positively messaged community engagement tool and is not an official road sign. If using this product on public highways and you are not from the local authority, check with your highways agency for permission first.

Brightwayz is proud to host the playing out shop, with resources to support your play streets or playing out sessions.

Playing Out CIC was our partner for several years and they supported the growth of resident-led play streets for 17 years until March 2026. Their legacy website remains full of excellent guidance, templates, inspiration and kit information to help you organise play streets or playing out sessions. 

Two of the former Playing Out team (Lucy Colbeck and Alison Stenning) have set up a Play Streets Network which is free of charge to join, sign up to their newsletter here. You can also access more in-depth freelance support if needed; read more on their LinkedIn profiles above, and contact them.
