What do linear guidance signs mean?

Linear guidance signs are usually placed at the ends of a median barrier to inform drivers that they can drive on either side of it. Currently, these guidance signs are positioned on several major city roads at intersection channelization islands and median barriers. These signs are easier to see because they are red and white. They remind drivers not to drive carelessly over the barrier and to modify their routes accordingly. China Signage manufacturer Qixiang is going to introduce linear guidance signs today.

I. Interpretation of Linear Guidance Signs

When used in conjunction with directional signs, linear guidance signs direct the direction of travel, show changes in the alignment of the road ahead, and remind drivers to drive carefully and pay attention to direction changes.

II. Linear Guidance Sign Colors and Uses

For linear guidance signs, the following color scheme is used: While warning linear guidance signs are red with white symbols that increase driver alertness and enable them to prepare for emergencies, indicative linear guidance signs are typically blue with white symbols for roads and green with white symbols for highways, providing general driving instructions.

III. Linear Guidance Sign Application Situations

Parking lots frequently use linear guidance signs, which usually have white symbols on a blue background. They can also be used on highways, typically with white symbols on a green backdrop. Some linear guidance signs are self-illuminating because they have LEDs installed.

IV. Are Signs for Linear Guidance Instructional or Directional?

Road direction, location, and distance are all indicated by directional signs. They are square or rectangular in shape, with the exception of milestones, location identification signs, and merging/diversion signs. Their color is generally blue with white symbols for roads, and green with white symbols for highways.

Instructional signs are mostly rectangular in shape, used to indicate direction, route, place names, mileage, and various facilities, making them easily identifiable for all road users and pedestrians. Instructional signs are a major type of traffic sign, used to guide vehicles and pedestrians to travel in designated directions and locations, playing a significant role in traffic management. Therefore, linear guidance signs are clearly instructional signs.

While roads are generally equipped with reflective linear guide signs or solar-powered linear guide signs, reflective signs rely on illumination to be effective at night due to the darkness, making them somewhat passive. Qixiang solar-powered linear guide signs, however, are dynamically self-illuminating, allowing for synchronized display, eliminating the need for wiring, automatic time synchronization, and distance limitations. They provide continuous dynamic display with superior visual appeal.
