Railroad Crossing Signs

Size: 12x09

An Emergency Notification sign should be installed at all highway-rail grade crossings to provide for emergency notification. The sign should have a white message on blue background.

Location and placement should be decided cooperatively by the railroad company and the public or private highway agencies based on specific site conditions.

Material Details

We make all our signs from .080” thick aluminum. Other companies use steel which rusts, plastic which cracks or warps, or a thinner gauge aluminum (.060 or .040) which bends or buckles.

We use 3M reflective sheeting and 3M UV resistant inks.  

3M offers the following on their sheeting:

• 3M 3400 Series Engineer Grade Prismatic (EGP): Rated for 5-7 year outdoor lifespan 
• 3M 3930 Series High Intensity Prismatic (HIP): Guaranteed for 10 year outdoor lifespan
• 3M 4000 Series Diamond Grade (DG3): Guaranteed for 12 year outdoor lifespan.

What are Reflective Sleeves on Sign Posts?
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.

What is the Benefit of Reflective Sleeves on Sign Posts?
Reflective sleeves enhance the visibility of traffic signs by converting the sign post area into a reflective surface. This is especially beneficial at night and during low light conditions. 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.
