- Engineer Grade Prismatic: Standard reflectivity, perfect for low-traffic areas.
- High Intensity Prismatic (3M): Offers higher visibility for busier roadways and areas where lighting is suboptimal.
- Diamond Grade (3M): The highest level of reflectivity, ideal for high-risk areas, intersections, or locations with challenging lighting or weather conditions.
Effortless Installation
This sign is pre-drilled with a standard 2-hole pattern, making it easy to install on standard signposts or mounting brackets. This simple installation process saves time and ensures a secure, long-lasting fit.
Reflective Sheeting Options Explained:
- Engineer Grade Prismatic: A budget-friendly option with essential visibility, recommended for areas with moderate traffic.
- High Intensity Prismatic (3M): A higher reflectivity option suitable for high-traffic intersections or roads where greater visibility is needed, particularly at dusk, dawn, or nighttime.
- Diamond Grade (3M): Offers the ultimate in visibility, designed for critical traffic areas such as highways or intersections where safety is paramount, making it indispensable for locations with frequent accidents or poor lighting conditions.
Applications:
The MUTCD R6-6 Begin One Way sign is typically installed at the start of one-way traffic zones, helping drivers understand the beginning of traffic flow restrictions. This sign is critical in areas where proper direction of travel must be communicated to prevent wrong-way driving incidents.
