Roll-Up and Rigid Aluminum Signs

Advance Warning Rigid and flexible "roll-up" signs may be used for mobile, short duration and short term stationary work. Rigid signs must be mounted at least 5 feet above grade (7 feet where there are pedestrians or parked cars) for visibility and to avoid windshield penetration if they are impacted. Roll-Up signs must be mounted at least one foot above grade. Use retro reflectorized rigid signs for night work.

The signs below are available in 18″, 24″, 30″, 36″ rigid aluminum, and 36″ for roll-up materials.

Roll-up signs lead time is 15 days after approval. Rigid aluminum signs ship within 3 - 5 business days.

Compliance

Section 6F.18 ROAD (STREET) WORK Sign (W20-1)

Guidance

  • The ROAD (STREET) WORK (W20-1) sign which serves as a general warning of obstructions or restrictions, should be located in advance of the work space or any detour, on the road where the work is taking place.

Standard

  • The ROAD (STREET) WORK (W20-1) sign shall have the legend ROAD (STREET) WORK, XX FEET, XX MILES, or AHEAD.

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.
