Traffic Signs Applications

There are many types of traffic signs, which can be distinguished in various ways: main signs and auxiliary signs; movable signs and fixed signs; illuminated signs, luminous signs and reflective signs; and variable information signs that reflect changes in the driving environment. XW Reflective provides main reflective traffic road sign products for road safety, there are mainly road signs products as below.

Warning sign:

Traffic warning signs are used to warn the vehicle and pedestrians, remind them to pay attention to dangerous places, and avoid accidents in advance. The color of the warning road sign is a yellow background, a black border, and a black pattern, and the shape is an equilateral triangle with the top corner pointing upwards.

Prohibition signs:

Prohibition signs are one of the main signs in traffic signs, which prohibit or restrict vehicles, such as no passage, no parking, no left turn, no honking, speed limit, weight limit, etc.
The color of prohibited signs, except for individual signs, is a white background, red circle, red bar, black pattern, and pattern bar. The shape of the general prohibition sign is a circle, an octagon, and an equilateral triangle with the top corners pointing downwards. There are 42 types of prohibitive signs.

Indication Signs:

Indication signs are used to instruct vehicles and pedestrians to drive in the specified direction and location. The color of the indicator is a blue background, with a white pattern; the shape is divided into circles, rectangles, and squares.

Signs indicate that only left (or right) turns are permitted for all vehicles. Set in place before the intersection where the vehicle must turn left (or right). When there are special regulations such as time and vehicle type, auxiliary signs or additional patterns shall be used.

Directional signs:

Directional signs convey information about the direction, location, and distance of the road to pedestrians, or provide information on intersecting roads, famous locations, service areas, etc.; it can ensure that road users reach their destinations quickly, smoothly and accurately. The direction sign is an information carrier that guides traffic correctly and is a safe facility to ensure smooth road traffic.

Tourist area signs:

Tourist area signs provide directions, distances, or play items to tourist attractions.

Road Construction Safety Signs:

Road construction safety signs notify access to road construction areas.

Reflective Films For Traffic Signs

Reflective sign sheeting plays a decisive role in traffic signs. Different reflective sign films not only have a different refractive index, color decay time, and wear resistance, but also have great differences in price. Customers can choose different reflective film models according to the actual situation, such as the signs used in some grade highway projects must use drill grade reflective film (the graded film can be used to complete the project acceptance, while most of the multi-village roads, underground garages, and market parks in China use ordinary engineering grade or 5-year engineering grade reflective film. General urban roads are mostly of engineering-grade, high-intensity grade, and diamond grade.

Here are reflective films for traffic, you can know more information about their parameters, please check.

Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting Films (Micro Glass Beads)

This engineering grade reflective sheeting gets the reflective feature by the micro glass beads on the surface, widely used in traffic signs which no strict requirement in reflective intensity.

(HI)High intensity Grade Reflective Sheeting Film(Micro glass beads):

High-Intensity Grade Reflective Sheeting has a high reflective effect, range 200-288 reflections. This high-reflection material can be used to manufacture Highway Signs, Regulatory Signs, School Signs Gui Signs, etc. Drivers can see the reflective signs at a long distance because of high reflection, which is formed by multi reflection from the micro glass beads on the surface layer of HI reflective film. Here are high-intensity reflective films’ parameters of XW Reflective.

(SIP )Super-Intensity Prismatic Grade Reflective Sheeting Film(Prismatic):

XW 9400 super intensity grade reflective sheeting has the same application as micro glass beads reflective sheeting, the difference between them is the reflective technology on the surface. If you are interested in the reflective principle of prismatic and micro glass beads technology, you can turn to this article: How does it work of reflective film?

(HIP )High-Intensity Prismatic Grade Reflective Sheeting Film(Prismatic):

XW 9300 super intensity prismatic reflective vinyl sheeting  is the reflective film mainly used to make as traffic sign, information signs on highway road, permanent road signs and other situations need high intensity reflective features in long service life. Here is the reference HIP reflective prismatic vinyl:

Summary of traffic signs

Traffic signs are made of reflective film, used on the road to keep road safety.  However, in terms of the cost-effectiveness and the applied environment, the road traffic signs are made of different grade reflective sheeting.

For example, the traffic warning signs on the city road generally use the engineer-grade reflective sheeting as based material, but the barrier sign on the highway needs the high-intensity reflective sheeting as the based material.  Choosing the suitable retroreflective film for the traffic safety sign is cost-efficient.  XW Reflective manufactures reflective sheeting for traffic signs, customized traffic sign colors and traffic signs printables are available.
