See Signs No Matter What with Enhanced Static Signs
One thing that’s not talked about a lot when it comes to driving is how road sign visibility can change in a heartbeat. Here at National Sign and Signal, we offer enhanced static signs that are specifically designed to be visible during poor visibility situations, this way the road can stay safe!
In this month’s blog, we’re highlighting our enhanced static signs and how they work, and the positive effects of using them on your roadways.
How Enhanced Static Signs Work
Enhanced static signs work by integrating LED lighting, retroreflective materials, or digital components into traditional, non-moving signs. These aren’t the only additions to enhanced static signs either as some static signs are enhanced by adding QR codes or digital, connected elements, transforming them from passive information displays into tools that provide real-time engagement or data.
How Enhanced Static Signs Improve Visibility
Using the components added to them like bright, often flashing LED lights, they’re able to better capture driver attention and improve reaction times. Studies show that LED-enhanced, traditionally static signs can improve driver recognition, increase yield-to-pedestrian data, and reduce accidents, sometimes by over 20%.
Some other important details that make enhanced static signs unique is the backlit technology, which makes the “static” part of the sign easier to see when driving in bad weather, heavy traffic, or while at night.
Where to Use Enhanced Static Signs
It’s best to use enhanced static signs in high-risk, high-traffic, or low-visibility areas to maximize their impact. Key locations that they’re used at all the time are school zones, dangerous intersections, and new pedestrian crossings.
Are you a government or construction agency who will be in need of high-quality enhanced static signage to place for an upcoming road or new construction project? If so, contact us here at national sign and signal for more information on how we can help you with our enhanced static signs!
