Stop Signs
Our Illuminated Flashing Stop Sign (R1-1) conforms to the specifications of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Using our innovative LED technology, the system employs a set of synchronized high-intensity LEDs. They extend the range of visibility of the sign during the day/night under all weather conditions. Furthermore, the LEDs are flashed, which increases driver awareness of the sign.
High Visibility
- Type IX reflective sheeting provides outstanding reflective brightness, day or night.
- High intensity LEDs extend the visibility of the sign under all weather conditions.
Outstanding Durability
- Highway grade .080 aluminum construction provides resistance to corrosion.
- The use of highway grade Type IX sheeting helps to maintain long term reflectivity.
- Stainless steel security fasteners and Tufnut mounting hardware included to keep the sign secure.
- Signs are weatherproof to prevent outside elements from entering the internal casing.
Superior Performance
- Low power LED technology reduces system power consumption and operating cost.
