When to Use 36″ and 48″ Temporary Warning Signs
According to the MUTCD:
| Type of Roadway | Sign Size |
|---|---|
| Conventional Road | 36 × 36″ |
| Freeway or Expressway | 48 × 48″ |
Transportation engineers may find this answer acceptable since they have a deeper understanding of the MUTCD than most, but not everyone has this knowledge. Luckily, definitions of these terms are provided to help make some sense of what they are trying to convey. Here’s how the MUTCD defines each of those types of roadways:
- "Conventional Road" is a "street or highway other than a low-volume road, expressway, or freeway."
- "Low-Volume Road" is a facility lying outside of developed areas of cities, towns, and communities, which serves fewer than 400 vehicles per day on average. A low-volume road shall not be a freeway, an expressway, an interchange ramp, a freeway service road, a road on a designated State highway system, or a residential street in a neighborhood.
- "Expressway" is a divided highway with partial control of access.
- "Freeway" is a divided highway with full control of access.
Still confused? It's not just you. Generally speaking, if the road is a divided highway with a concrete barrier or median, a 48 × 48″ sign will be required. A 36 × 36″ sign can be used on all other types of roadways.

The viewing distances listed in this chart reflect the viewing distance for each of the sizes. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) does not provide specifics regarding the use of certain text heights at certain distances in order to improve legibility. Instead, the MUTCD has already determined all of the necessary text sizes and merely provides the specifications for various sizes of signs, which in turn all have specific use cases that must be followed in order to help keep drivers safe and aware of important regulations.
It is the responsibility of the end user to follow the guidelines and requirements of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) in order to provide road users with signs that ensure optimal legibility.

Using the latest printing processes, your Road Work 500 FT Sign is printed without set-up charges or minimums. These advanced digital processes also reduce set-up times, helping to get your signs shipped out faster than ever. SafetySign.com prints your graphics and text straight onto the substrate. Your UV ink printed text and graphics will not peel, unlike signs from companies that laminate graphics over the material.
Printing Methods
Cross-Hatch Ink Adhesion Test
SafetySign.com’s advanced printing process undergoes a stringent cross-hatching test. This specifically tests the adhesion and resistance to separation of the inks from the sign. In testing, a sample from the printing process is scored and covered in adhesive tape. The tape is removed and the sample assessed for adhesion quality.
We use a three-stage process to test all of our printing processes. We print our signs using only the processes that pass all three stages, giving you the highest quality signage possible.
Fonts
The text is printed in HGDPIXymbols font.
The Road Work 500 FT Sign from SafetySign.com uses these fonts because they are used on all signs from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). These fonts are easy to read in daytime and nighttime conditions, and they are still legible no matter what version of the typeface is being used on the sign.
