Key Features
MUTCD Compliance
Fully compliant with MUTCD R15-5 standards, this sign ensures clear, enforceable traffic regulations for LRT-specific lanes. By adhering to federal traffic guidelines, it enhances traffic management, reduces vehicle-LRT conflicts, and increases pedestrian safety in urban environments.
Durable, Long-Lasting Construction
Manufactured from tough 0.080-gauge aluminum (Alloy 3105), this sign is engineered for outdoor durability, resisting harsh elements such as rain, heat, wind, and snow. Its robust build minimizes the need for frequent replacements, saving you both time and maintenance costs.
Superior Visibility for All Conditions
With three reflective sheeting options, this sign provides outstanding visibility in both daytime and nighttime conditions. These options are specifically designed to boost driver awareness and increase safety in various traffic and lighting environments:
- Engineer Grade Prismatic: Ideal for low-traffic areas or moderately lit intersections.
- High Intensity Prismatic (3M): Enhanced reflectivity for busy urban intersections, ensuring greater visibility in high-traffic areas.
- Diamond Grade (3M): Maximum reflectivity for critical locations with high traffic or challenging visibility conditions, such as fog, rain, or low-light environments.
Effortless Installation
Designed for efficiency, the sign comes pre-drilled with a standard 2-hole pattern, allowing for quick and easy mounting on poles or overhead structures. This minimizes labor costs and reduces setup time.
Reflective Sheeting Options
- Engineer Grade Prismatic: Suitable for low-traffic areas or moderate lighting, providing standard visibility.
- High Intensity Prismatic (3M): Enhanced reflectivity for medium to high-traffic areas, offering increased visibility both day and night.
- Diamond Grade (3M): Maximum reflectivity for high-traffic or low-visibility conditions, ensuring drivers can see the sign even in adverse weather.
