Active Road Signs

 

Basic Active Road Sign

 

 

High intensity LED's flash when  vehicles exceed safe approach speeds on these Active Road Signs.  When activated, their narrow beam allows them to be seen clearly at 1000 feet, but not glaring up close.  The speed at which they activate is field programmable in 5 mph increments.  

Two types are available, Basic and  Add-On.

Basic units (shown left)  have the lights mounted on extensions and are delivered with a 4 inch pole.    They can be 12 V dc, 110 V ac or solar powered. 

For remote controlled signs without radar, take a look at the Remote Controlled Signal

To display the speed, see our Speed Signs.

See the Industrial Area Crossing Signal and Microwave Signal for active signs at rail crossings.

See the Worker Protection Device for an active signal that warns road and rail workers of an approaching vehicle. 

 

 

 

 

The Add-On unit comes in a cabinet that bolts directly to a pole, thus may be mounted on existing signs.  The Add-On enclosure is common to all signs with only the size and color of the LED's being different.

The flashing configuration can be factory set as alternating or simultaneous.  The flashing rate can be fast, slow, or depend on target speed.     

A 30 second tuning fork mode allows verification when electrical power is applied.  All standard road signs are available.
