Key Features
MUTCD Compliance
This sign adheres fully to the MUTCD R15-5A standards, providing enforceable lane restrictions at intersections where light rail vehicles (LRT) operate. Its compliance with these guidelines helps ensure pedestrian safety, improve traffic management, and prevent unauthorized passing of LRT vehicles.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Construction
Crafted from high-quality 0.080-gauge aluminum (Alloy 3105), this sign is built to withstand the toughest outdoor conditions, including rain, extreme heat, and strong winds. The durable construction guarantees longevity and reduces the need for frequent replacements, saving on long-term maintenance costs.
High Visibility for Maximum Safety
Available in three reflective sheeting options, this sign is designed to maintain optimal visibility in various lighting and traffic conditions. Whether in broad daylight or during low-visibility conditions at night, the reflective sheeting ensures that drivers can see and comply with traffic regulations.
- Engineer Grade Prismatic: Standard reflectivity, ideal for areas with low traffic and moderate lighting.
- High Intensity Prismatic (3M): Enhanced visibility for busier intersections, reducing accidents and improving safety.
- Diamond Grade (3M): Maximum reflectivity, perfect for high-traffic zones or intersections with challenging visibility, such as fog or heavy rain.
Quick and Simple Installation
Pre-drilled with a standard 2-hole pattern, this sign allows for fast, easy mounting on poles or overhead structures, minimizing setup time and labor costs. Its versatile design makes it easy to install in any urban traffic environment.
Reflective Sheeting Options
- Engineer Grade Prismatic: Offers standard reflectivity, suitable for areas with low traffic or moderate lighting.
- High Intensity Prismatic (3M): Enhanced reflectivity, ideal for busy intersections, ensuring visibility during both day and night.
- Diamond Grade (3M): Maximum reflectivity for critical intersections and high-traffic zones, providing visibility even in low-light or poor weather conditions.
