Solar Powered Signs Shine Bright in Hazardous Weather Conditions

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Solar powered signs work great in hazardous weather conditions like whiteout conditions from snow, rain or fog; therefore they would be perfect for a construction site or work zone.  These solar powered signs with the flashing LED lights are made of durable materials that stand up to being knocked over or accidentally dragged around by a truck or other vehicle.  Construction zones always have a lot of things going on and workers may not always be alert to watching where they are going or aware of a truck about to pass them because they have ear plugs and a hard hat on.  The flashing LED lights on the solar powered signs will help to keep a construction site or work zone safe from accidents.

Solar signs such as slow signs, yield signs, stop signs, traffic light ahead, children at play signs or pedestrian crossing signs are all equipped with the flashing LED lights in order to alert motorists who may not be paying attention.  Other solar traffic signs include deer crossing signs, heavy equipment crossing signs, danger signs, farm equipment crossing signs, hospital zones signs, school zones signs, work zones signs, reduce speed ahead signs or any type of metal traffic sign could be designed as a solar traffic sign to include flashing LED lights for more alertness from drivers and pedestrians.  The solar panel attached to the regular tin traffic sign with the LED lights becomes an energy-efficient life-saving piece of technology that not only saves lives but money as well.

Several research projects have been conducted to see what role certain distractions have on people as they drive and people would guess that cell phones would be the number one distraction; however it came in as number two on the list of distractions.  The number one distraction for drivers is eating while driving.  Although as of lately, texting on ones cell phone is becoming more and more popular with teens and young drivers which is a very dangerous combination and has been the cause of hundreds of fatalities over the past year or so.

Highway departments and city street companies could use solar light towers which generates large amounts of light in order to allow the workers to work into the night without using long extension cords or batteries to keep the lights on.  The solar light towers use solar panels to collect the energy to run the lights for a continuous 12 hours which saves the city and the highway department thousands of dollars in energy costs and taxpayer money.

Solar powered signs are a good investment for any city or town in order to save both lives and energy costs.

Communities Use Solar Powered Stop Signs; Save Lives, Energy and Taxpayer Funds

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Solar powered stop signs help save lives in addition to helping save energy costs for the cities that placed them in and around their communities.  Solar powered signs need no electricity; therefore there are no wires needed above ground or below ground because they run strictly on the sun’s renewable energy.  Solar powered stop signs contain four LED flashing red lights surrounding the word ‘stop’ in order to better attract the attention of drivers to the stop signs to the heed the warning and perhaps avoid an accident.

 

In today’s high paced society, many people multitask even while driving and this may mean talking on the cell phone, talking with passengers, reading directions or using a GPS machine, adjusting the radio or looking for CDs for the CD player or just getting caught up in one’s own thoughts about what needs to be done at home or work.  There are a countless number of distractions a driver could experience that would cause them to miss a stop sign or other traffic signs along the roadways and highways.  The solar powered signs with the LED flashing lights are made specifically for grabbing the attention of distracted drivers, or any driver, so that they see the traffic sign and adjust their driving appropriately.

 

Solar powered signs come in a variety of styles and shapes and could be custom made for construction companies, highway departments or power plants and other chemical plants or factories where pedestrians and heavy machinery share the same pathways.  Many of the general solar powered traffic signs are railroad crossing signs, slow: children at play signs, pedestrian crossing signs, and deer crossing signs, traffic signal ahead and directional traffic signs such as an arrow pointing north or an arrow pointing to the left in addition to many others.  Each of these signs contains three or four red or yellow bright LED lights which flash on and off in order to grab a driver’s attention.  The LED lights are powered through the sun’s energy and through the attached solar panels on each individual sign.

 

For construction sites, including highway departments, there are solar light towers which could be used when crews need to work at night or on overcast, cloudy days where they need light the most but don’t have electricity readily available to power a large light.  The solar light towers are made of durable materials that can withstand extreme heat or cold and tolerate localized shadowing from trees or temporary obstacles.

 

Solar powered signs, traffic signs and light towers all use the sun’s renewable energy to sustain flashing LED lights or a large light in the case of the light towers, without costing the community taxpayer money for constant electricity or initial costs to bury electrical wires.  Solar powered signs save energy and lives.
