Solar sign lights are three or four flashing LED light that surround a word or phrase on a tin street or traffic sign.  The lights are meant to help grab the attention of distracted drivers so that they would heed the warnings of the signs.

There is a solar powered stop sign, solar powered directional signs, solar powered work ahead signs, solar powered school zone signs, solar powered railroad crossing signs, solar powered deer crossing signs, solar powered watch for possible falling rock signs, solar powered deaf children at play signs and all types of solar powered industrial signs for machine shops or power plants.

Solar powered signs save lives because they help distracted drivers who are not paying attention draw their attention to solar powered signs with the flashing LED lights on the tin signs that are better than the ordinary sign with no flashing lights.  Additionally, these solar powered LED flashing lights do not require any batteries, which eventually end up in landfills, or long electrical cords which drain the city’s resources.  The solar powered traffic signs only require sunlight but also work on cloudy days because the sun’s ultraviolet rays travel through the clouds.  These environmentally conscious solar powered signs are cost-effective to cities and towns that choose to use them on their streets and to the highway departments who also use solar paneled signs.

The LED flashing lights help distracted drivers by drawing their attention to the flashing lights on the traffic signs so the drivers may regard and obey what the sign has to “say”.  For example, there has been a large campaign about slowing down in work zones along the highways because several highway workers have been injured or even killed by speeding drivers.  With the flashing LED lights surrounding a bright orange or neon yellow ‘slow, workers ahead’ sign, the accident rate drops dramatically.  People can’t help but notice the flashing LED lights on the solar signs and this is exactly what the highway department, cities and towns across America want.

There are also solar sign for industrial plants and machine shops in bright neon yellow which warn of overhead wires or other cautions such as hard hat areas.  These flashing LED solar powered signs remind workers to beware and be careful while they’re working in what could be a dangerous situation.

No matter where a solar powered sign with its flashing LED lights is placed, it is certain to attract the attention of drivers, pedestrians or workers so that they remain safe and help to maintain the safety of those around them.  From schoolyards where school buses are often found to highway work zones, solar power street signs could save lives.

A solar powered stop sign has four flashing LED lights that surround the word stop in order to help alert drivers, who may be distracted, to better see the stop sign before they reach the intersection or corner and add to the fatality or injury rates of their community.

Many communities are turning to solar powered stop signs to help prevent accidents and to save the community money on fancy flashing lights that eat up electricity.  Solar powered stop signs use a solar panel to harness the sun’s energy which generates the flashing LED lights so that drivers are better able to see an upcoming stop sign or other traffic signs such as directional signs, railroad crossing signs, emergency entrance signs, pedestrian crossing signs, deer crossing signs and a traffic signal ahead sign.

Solar powered traffic signs have been proven time and time again to save lives by halting would be accidents at stop sign intersections, pedestrian crossings, winding roads and truck entrances and exits along the highways and other roadways where visibility is limited due to a hill or natural curve in the road. 

An LED solar sign usually contains four flashing red or orange LED lights that are brighter and last longer than fluorescent lights and are powered by the sun in order to save electricity and be more eco-friendly to the earth.  Environmentally conscious communities are switching to LED solar signs in order to help save the planet and save their communities more money by cutting back on utilities such as electricity.

The solar powered stop signs and other solar powered traffic signs are highly visible in all weather conditions including ‘white out’ conditions from snow and blizzards to torrential downpours where visibility is next to none.  The flashing LED lights on solar stop signs and most all solar powered traffic signs can take up to 110 mph winds when properly installed, in addition to withstanding hail and high heat temperatures.

Solar paneled safety signs and traffic signs are the best choice for construction sites, including those ‘work ahead’ sites along the highway, in order to keep workers safe from the fast-moving cars and drivers who may be distracted.  The flashing LED lights bring drivers back to the ‘here and now’ in order for them to know what’s going on and to adjust their speeds accordingly.

Solar powered signs near construction sites help to save the lives of construction workers, pedestrians and motorists.  Solar powered signs include work zone signs, danger: high-voltage wires, reduced speed limit, pedestrian crossing signs and stop signs.  These solar powered signs used the sun’s energy to generate four flashing red or orange LED lights that surround whatever the sign says.  For example, a pedestrian crossing sign has the traditional pedestrian figure walking across the street on a bright yellow diamond shaped sign and then has a red flashing LED light each of the four corners.  The solar powered signs use the sun’s energy so there is no need to run dangerous long wires from an electrical outlet to the sign.

Solar powered signs with flashing LED lights help to alert distracted motorist to what is going on around them; construction site workers who are driving heavy equipment could also benefit from a flashing solar powered stop sign or other solar powered signs.  When safety is an issue, solar powered signs can be most beneficial to everyone around them including pedestrians, motorists and construction site workers.  People can often be distracted by cell phones, car radios or their own thoughts.  Distractions make people oblivious to what is happening around them, and solar powered signs can help bring them back to the here and now and help save lives in the process.

Solar traffic signs can have a powerful impact on construction sites in which so many things are happening at once; a construction worker can easily be distracted by something going on in the distance and not pay attention to where they are walking.  By having flashing LED lights on various traffic signs, a construction worker can be more diligent about his or her surroundings because these flashing lights draw attention to the posted sign and help to keep a worksite safe.

In addition to saving lives, solar powered signs set at a construction site could impact a construction company’s insurance rates in a positive way.  By taking precautionary measures, such as using solar powered signs, a construction company could ask for a re-evaluation of their insurance premiums at which time a lower rate could be prescribed by an insurance agent.  Just as having fire extinguishers on site is a good idea, using solar powered signs could save the construction company thousands of dollars a year in insurance premiums.

A solar powered stop sign could save a municipality, city and state thousands of taxpayer dollars in energy costs by using the sun’s energy to generate power to flashing LED lights. 

A solar powered stop sign consists of four red LED flashing light surrounding the large word ‘stop’ on a traditional red sign in order to draw motorists’ attention to the sign so that they will be able to stop where indicated.  These solar powered signs cost next to nothing to maintain and run on a continuing basis because the LED lights last and last so they do not have to be replaced that often; the sun’s energy generates the flashing lights for up to 12 continuous hours so there is no need for expensive electricity.

In addition to the solar powered stop signs, there are many different solar traffic signs that alert drivers to warnings such as pedestrian crossing, school crossings, deer crossing, railroad crossings, danger: low bridge, danger: high voltage wires, danger: work zone, ‘stop here when flashing’ sign for a fire engine exit, yield signs, traffic light ahead signs and speed limit signs.

Pedestrian crossing and school crossings sign are important when drivers and pedestrians need to share the road.  Often times, drivers are not paying attention or can become easily distracted by their thoughts or something within their car like the radio or a cell phone.  The combination of a distracted motorist and pedestrians on the same road could spell disaster for both parties.  Flashing LED lights on a pedestrian crossing or school crossing sign will help to alert preoccupied motorists so that they are more aware of their surroundings.

Solar powered danger signs with flashing red or yellow LED lights could also help to warn distracted drivers of upcoming dangers on the road.  Research study after study has proven that distracted drivers kill people, pedestrians, other drivers or themselves. To help prevent these potentially deadly accidents, solar powered traffic signs are a good first step in prevention.  Drivers will always be distracted by something in the car, by something outside of the car or by their own thoughts; using solar powered traffic signs with flashing LED lights is one way to help bring a driver’s attention back to the road.

Most highways have top speeds of 70 mph; however drivers continually exceed this limit by up to 15 mph or more.  In order to accommodate an ever-growing population of people and roads, many highways now have traffic signals on them.  Solar powered signs could alert drivers well in advance of these traffic signals in order for them to be able to begin to slow down and eventually stop if the signal has turned to red.

Solar powered traffic signs and stop signs save thousands of dollars in taxpayer money, in addition to saving lives every day.

If you own a construction business, a heavy equipment machine shop or any type of business where heavy equipment such as cement trucks or dump trucks are crossing where people tend to walk, then several solar signs would be a good idea to increase visibility of the heavy equipment and decrease accidents.

A solar powered stop sign, with LED flashing lights, draws attention to the stop sign better than a regular stop sign without the flashing lights.  Since the stop sign is solar powered, there is no need for a generator or any other type of electricity running to the stop sign. This saves a company thousands of dollars each year.

Having a solar powered safety sign at every intersection or crosswalk in your construction yard can help save many lives.  The solar powered safety signs have four flashing LED lights that draw attention to what the safety signs are saying.  These signs will help catch the attention of people when they are not paying attention to their surroundings, especially when trucks are passing by.

A solar sign even works on a cloudy day for up to 12 hours continuously flashing LED lights using only the sun’s power.  These solar safety signs are water resistant, so they work in the rain and basically all types of weather.  A company has even designed solar powered safety lights to be used alongside the solar powered safety signs.  These solar safety lights can be used anywhere light is needed, such as a construction site or to glide up under the hood of a car and are just as durable and bright as the solar signs.

Solar signs are safer signs because they are powered by the sun, and they don’t use power lines. The pedestrian crossing signs, stop signs, and yield sings are all traffic signs that promote safety and help to prevent accidents. Solar signs can flash for more than two weeks without the sun. Even blackouts won’t stop these signs from working.  This is an additional safety benefit that sun power provides.

 The solar powered stop sign has four flashing LED lights that continuously flash.  This sign is much easier to see than a regular stop sign, especially at night. These lit signs shine through fog and are visible when it rains. They make it safer for pedestrians to cross the street after dark. The solar powered pedestrians signs are another safety advantage for pedestrians and some have the newer alternating flash, which gets more attention from drivers.  These safety signs are very important to use in industrial areas, where accidents are more likely to happen. These signs are made specifically for industrial and petrochemical plants which help prevent many accidents at work. Sometimes signs are made to prevent accidents, or made specifically for certain traffic or terrain conditions. An example is a sign that lets drivers know that a fire truck is pulling onto the highway, which drivers couldn’t otherwise see because of a hill blocking their view. The fire truck driver uses a remote to make the sign flash as he is leaving his station, which alerts drivers whose view is otherwise blocked by the hill.
