Speed Limit 70 mph sign, MUTCD R2-170, Reflective sheeting on heavy duty aluminum

$ 25.50



Depending on where you travel in the USA, you might not see that many speed limit 70 signs.  70 mph speeds are reserved for major highways and on some smaller highways in certain states.  But no matter what state you live, federal law now requires speed limit 70 and all speed limit signs to be a minimum of HIP reflective sheeting.  HIP sheeting is 3 times brighter than EGP sheeting so that added reflectivity is important when you are driving 70 miles per hour on a highway in the dark.

Sizes Available: 18x24, 24x30

Other speed limit choices: 05  10  15  20  25  30  35  40  45  50  55  60  65  75

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.
