Layout principles for traffic signage construction

Highway construction is inherently risky. Furthermore, traffic signage construction is typically conducted without closed-circuit traffic. High-speed traffic and complex on-site work environments can easily increase the risk of roadwork. Furthermore, since work requires occupying lanes, bottlenecks can easily form, leading to traffic congestion and delays. Poor management, improper placement of traffic signage, or negligence on the part of drivers or construction workers can easily lead to road accidents.

As an experienced traffic signage company, Qixiang’s product line includes warning signs, prohibition signs, direction signs, and directional signs. We also offer specialized products such as construction warning signs, tourist area signs, and school bus stop signs. These products can meet diverse requirements for urban roads, highways, rural roads, industrial parks, and other industrial parks.

Qixiang’s products are manufactured using high-reflective film and high-strength aluminum alloy plates through CNC cutting, precision silk-screen printing, and high-temperature lamination. They offer UV resistance, high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and high reflectivity, resulting in a service life of 5-8 years.

Principles for the placement of traffic signage

(1) Traffic signage should be placed on the right side of the highway, or on both sides of the highway depending on the complexity of the traffic situation; signs mounted on mobile supports can be placed on the inside of the road; signs can also be mounted on roadblocks, and the combined sign formed by the signs and roadblocks should have an anti-collision function.

(2) Construction signs, speed limit signs, variable information signs or linear induction signs should be set up in the warning area; cone-shaped traffic signage should be placed between the starting point of the upstream transition zone and the end point of the downstream transition zone, generally with a spacing of 15m; road barriers should be placed at the junction of the buffer zone and the work zone; other facilities in the control zone can be determined according to specific circumstances.

(3) When the work zone is close to the shoulder or the emergency lane, traffic signage should be placed on the emergency lane; when the work zone is close to the median strip, traffic signage should be placed on the inside of the median strip guardrail. When road construction work is carried out at bends and on bridge structure demolition and construction sections, traffic signage should be added according to actual conditions.

(4) In addition to complying with the provisions of GB 5768, traffic signage can also use variable information signs to dynamically display the operation information ahead.

Development direction of traffic signage

1. Traffic facility security is not only about traffic signage and the design of isolation barriers, but also includes road markings and the setting of green isolation barriers. Only when all aspects of the facilities are well done can people drive correctly according to the road conditions and sign information, and at the same time, provide a guarantee for people’s travel.

2. Technological innovation of traffic facilities. The requirements for traffic equipment research and development technology to adapt to the current rapid development of technology are increasing. In the development of various enterprise facilities, we cannot stand still. We must combine new technologies to improve the process of facility manufacturing technology. Only innovative ideas can make the industry develop better.

3. The development of monitoring systems. In addition to hard traffic facilities, monitoring equipment is also an important part of various current traffic facilities. Through monitoring videos of various road sections, traffic sections can be better managed, and improvements can be made based on evidence. Road sections can be monitored and play a good early warning role.

Understanding the layout principles and future developments of traffic signage will help prevent unnecessary accidents. Traffic signage company Qixiang is here to help. We offer customized sizes, designs, and colors, providing a one-stop service from design and production to logistics and delivery.
