Sign Post Reflectors

Sign post reflectors make sure your traffic and parking signs are more visible, providing the extra aid needed to ensure your signs are seen by drivers.

Benefits

• Adding a sign post reflector to a critical sign provides an extra 150 to 200 feet of additional visibility for the driving public, reducing potential accidents.
• Aging drivers can benefit from an extra 150 to 200 feet of viewing distance when approaching traffic signs.
• Makes signs that may have become mundane more noticeable.
• With respect to schools, reflective sleeves can help alert drivers to school zone speed limit signs and crosswalk warning signs, thereby increasing the safety of students who walk and bike to school.

Why use sign post reflectors?

Seeing the same image time and time again causes our senses to become less engaged. The simple addition of a sign post reflector or reflective strip changes the view, making it much more noticeable. Critical traffic signs can go unseen until the last minute in inclement weather and when partially obscured by landscaping or other roadside obstacles.

General Specifications

Commonly known as a post reflector, these 3″ wide strips bring extra attention to school signs for added safety. Reflective sleeves are .080 panels of aluminum covered with reflective sheeting that attach to sign posts. According to the MUTCD, the reflective sleeve must be at least two inches in width and be placed the full length of the post from the sign to within two feet above the edge of the roadway. The color of the reflective sleeve must match the background color of the sign. Reflective sleeves are available in all MUTCD sign colors, including yellow and fluorescent yellow-green.
