Solar Traffic Signs save Lives along the Highways; near Hospitals and School Zones

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

A solar powered pedestrian crossing sign could be used in a variety of different applications such as a construction company, highway department, farm area, colleges, universities, high schools or other schools where there are a lot of persons on foot and large buses or other vehicles all vying for someone’s attention; or how about a deer crossing or other animal crossing signs to warn drivers of the possible dangers associated with these animal crossings along the highways.

There have been numerous research and safety studies in the media lately regarding distracted drivers, especially young drivers and cell phones; however all drivers could easily be distracted with something as simple as changing the radio station or talking to a passenger.  Cell phones are a major distraction and the latest news is that younger drivers are now texting while driving. A recent controlled insurance study proved that people who try to text and drive at the same time are 400 percent more distracted than a drunk driver.  Eating used to be the number one driver distraction the last time a study was conducted, followed by talking on a cell phone.  

A distraction could cause a driver to miss seeing a stop sign and cause a devastating accident.  With a solar powered stop sign and their LED flashing red lights, a driver has a greater opportunity of noticing the stop sign then a plain sign without the flashing red lights.

Solar traffic signs have many different uses from emergency room entrances to school zones and work zones, all of which need drivers to slow down and watch their speed in order to practice safe driving near extreme situations or small children. Nearly all state highway departments have implemented strict penalties consisting of high dollar fines and sometimes prison sentences for hitting a highway worker. The ‘slow work zone’ signs are there for a reason and if the orange barrels and cones aren’t enough to slow a speeding car down, then the flashing LED lights on the ‘work zone ahead’ sign should help.

Solar Powered Traffic Signs Used Near Hospitals, Schools Help Save Pedestrians

Solar powered traffic signs use three or four flashing LED (light emitting diode) lights in order to attract a driver’s attention to a sign so that they will slow down, stop, yield or beware of dangers such as low power lines, railroad crossings or emergency vehicles entering and exiting the roadways.  These LED solar sign lights last much longer than regular light bulbs; therefore replacing them is not an issue and they are powered by the sun’s energy so there is no need to run an electrical cord or extension cord from an electrical outline to the sign.

Solar powered stop signs can have a dramatic impact for motorists and pedestrians near work zones, hospital zones and school zones where drivers are often times distracted and tend to speed without realizing what they are doing or plow through stop signs without seeing them.  Solar powered stop signs placed anywhere pedestrians and motorists coexist can help reduce the number of accidents by helping to alert a driver to what a posted sign is “telling” them.

Solar powered traffic signs that alert drivers to oncoming traffic in school zones have been used in and around many different college locations where there tends to be more pedestrians then cars.  Other school zones have also had much success with solar powered traffic signs and solar powered stop signs.  Often times when a parent is dropping off or picking up their student there are hundreds of children walking around in addition to large buses making distractions inevitable.  With solar powered traffic signs people are more alert to their surroundings and more lives are saved.

A solar powered safety sign near fire engine houses or hospital zones help insure drivers who cannot hear the sirens (perhaps the music is too loud) will see the flashing lights of a stop sign or a bright yellow fire engine sign and heed its warning. 

Large colorful signs posted near hospital zones and school zones are often times not enough to save lives but a solar powered traffic sign with the flashing red or orange LED lights have been proven to save more lives than a traditional sign.

The school bell will ring for thousands of students with the start of another school year in August or September. That’s what makes safety signs so important. Solar school signs are one of the latest inventions that are designed to reduce accidents and injuries on school grounds and require no maintenance. Our signs can be seen in all types of weather and offer features such as continuous flashing that make school grounds visible day or night.

What good are safety signs if no one can see them, or if they are too preoccupied to see them? If that’s the case, they may as well not even be there. That’s why you always see flashing lights on school signs, because there is such great opportunity for tragedy there. So we have gone the distance and made sure those signs are visible. Make sure those signs never fail by using solar school signs instead.

Signs are all about safety, so why not make them as visible as possible? Solar safety signs are the answer, because they will flash and make themselves highly visible. That’s especially useful when they are in confusing, high-traffic area. If your signs are in places where they have to compete with a lot of flashing lights, then you will want them to have flashing lights of their own. That’s especially true for solar school signs.
