Eyes Are on You Now at Railroad Crossings
There have been all kinds of railroad crossing sign designs, from wooden X’s carved with the danger of a train to LED signs that brighten up tracks in the night. Here at National Sign and Signal, we’re always trying to provide traffic, commercial, or railroad signs that keep as many people safe as possible.
In today’s blog, we’re highlighting a very unique but effective railroad sign, that being the Moving Eyes High Speed Rail (HSR) Crossing Signs.
Eyes on a Railroad Crossing Sign?
Railroad crossing signs have one job, and that’s to keep anyone who’s going to cross the tracks safe. You may be wondering “how does adding eyes to a sign make it any more effective.” Well, a fun fact for you is that the feature that catches human’s attention the most is eyes.
So, by adding animated eyes onto a railroad sign, the chances of increasing attention toward the sign rise, ultimately keeping more drivers, pedestrians, and train operators safe. That’s not all that the Moving Eyes High Speed Rail Crossing Sign offers railroad companies.
What Else?
The ultra-bright, solar-powered LED warning sign illuminates or flashes when a train is approaching an HSR vehicle or pedestrian crossing. Signs can be clearly seen from up to 2 miles away, even at night, alerting motorists and/or pedestrians to high-speed grade crossings and preventing them from inadvertently approaching or crossing the track without stopping, looking, and listening for a train.
The sign also creates a safer operating environment for trains and others at high-speed crossings, preventing incidents and saving lives. The DADDS high speed rail crossing sign can also be easily installed and operated at any grade crossing, including remote crossings where electricity is not accessible.
At National Sign and Signal, we’re committed to bringing safety to everywhere one of our sign’s lands, including bustling city tracks to desolate desert railroads.
