Key Features:
MUTCD Compliance
This sign fully complies with the MUTCD R6-3 standard, ensuring road users are properly informed of upcoming divided highways. It provides clear, enforceable guidance to both drivers and road safety authorities, reducing the risk of accidents at unsignalized intersections.
Durable Construction
Made from 0.080" gauge aluminum (Alloy 3105), the R6-3 sign is engineered for long-lasting performance in various weather conditions. Its corrosion-resistant material ensures durability even in harsh climates, from extreme heat to heavy rain or snow.
Enhanced Visibility Options
Available with three reflective sheeting options, this sign ensures high visibility in any lighting condition. Whether it's day or night, the reflective materials enhance safety by making the sign easily noticeable to drivers.
- Engineer Grade Prismatic: Standard reflectivity suitable for low-traffic or moderate-light conditions.
- High Intensity Prismatic (3M): Improved reflectivity for roads with higher traffic volumes or poor lighting conditions.
- Diamond Grade (3M): Maximum reflectivity for high-risk intersections or areas with challenging weather, ensuring the sign is visible from a greater distance.
Effortless Installation
The sign features pre-drilled holes with a standard 2-hole pattern for easy installation on signposts or brackets, reducing setup time and ensuring a secure and reliable fit.
Reflective Sheeting Options Explained:
- Engineer Grade Prismatic: Provides basic reflectivity for areas with low traffic or where cost efficiency is a priority.
- High Intensity Prismatic (3M): Delivers enhanced reflectivity for areas with moderate to high traffic volumes, making it easier to spot during nighttime or low-visibility conditions.
- Diamond Grade (3M): Offers the highest level of reflectivity, recommended for high-traffic intersections or locations where superior visibility is crucial, especially in hazardous weather conditions.
Applications:
The MUTCD R6-3 Divided Highway Crossing sign is typically installed at intersections where minor streets meet divided highways with wide medians. This sign is essential for ensuring that drivers are aware of the divided roadway configuration and can safely navigate their turn, reducing the likelihood of confusion or accidents.
Why Choose This Sign?
