A Commitment to Traffic Safety

By Jessie Mccafferty


There are several companies who produce variable speed signs and driver feedback signs. For something this necessary to a community and to traffic safety, you need to select a company that is definitely committed to safety and quality. Whether you need the sign for the school zone in your local community, or you want 1 or 2 signs in your commercial or business park, you should go looking for organisation affiliations that speak to the company's dedication to true safety and improvement.

One organization membership that shows a firm's firm dedication to safety is the American Traffic Safety Services Organisation, or the ATSSA. This organization's sole purpose is to advance roadway safety thru promotion and awareness.

The ATSSA uses awareness programs and charitable giving to enhance safety on the streets, with an emphasis on highway worker safety. Members of the organization generally know that the utilising of driver feedback signs slow traffic down when approaching work sectors. Proof from the actual use of the signs in road construction areas show that speed can be reduced significantly before the traffic reaches areas where employees are present.

In some areas, different speeds need to be established during different times during the day. A school area, for example, may need a speed of 20 mph when kids are present, but up to 40 mph when school is out. A variable speed sign can serve 2 crucial purposes in such a place.

First, when school is in and the speed must be low, the lit sign draws notice more than a static sign. Folks are much more likely to see the bright LED lights and slow down than they are to slow when they see the standard speed sign. The second purpose is that the same sign can be used after the youngsters are gone and simply set to different speeds. Corporations that manufacture these kinds of signs must be committed to quality and safety, so that you get the most out of these kinds of signs.
