School and Hospital Zones Benefit From Solar Powered LED Traffic Signs

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Solar powered traffic signs use three or four flashing LED lights in order to attract a driver’s attention to the sign so that they will slow down, stop, yield or beware of dangers such as power lines, railroad crossings or emergency vehicles entering and exiting the highway.  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 traffic signs near fire engine houses or hospital zones help insure drivers who cannot hear the sirens (perhaps the music is too loud, or they are hard of hearing) will see the flashing lights of a stop sign or a bright yellow fire engine sign and heed its warning.   

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. 

Hospital zones where emergency vehicles are racing in and out of traffic can be helped with solar powered traffic signs and solar powered stop signs.  Accidents involving emergency vehicles and other motorists can be avoided by using solar powered stop signs to alert drivers of an impending stop where they might not have otherwise seen the stop sign and continued through it into an accident. 

At three o’clock on any given weekday there are thousands of children leaving schools all across the country and waiting school buses and parents in cars ready to pick them up.  Accidents can be avoided with solar signs such as solar powered speed limit signs, solar powered yield signs and solar powered stop signs.  With solar powered traffic signs, people are more alert to their surroundings and more lives are saved. 

Large colorful signs posted near hospital zones and school zones are oftentimes 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. 

And solar powered traffic signs with the flashing LED lights help the environment because they do not cause air pollution because they do not run on any gas, batteries or electricity.  They simply use the sun’s energy to generate enough power to run the flashing LED lights for 12 continuous hours.

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.

School and Hospital Zones Benefit From Solar Powered LED Traffic Signs

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Solar powered traffic signs use three or four flashing LED lights in order to attract a driver’s attention to the sign so that they will slow down, stop, yield or beware of dangers such as power lines, railroad crossings or emergency vehicles entering and exiting the highway.  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.

LED Safety Signs save Taxpayer Money and Save Lives

Monday, June 1st, 2009

LED safety signs could save cities and towns across the country thousands of dollars in taxpayer money and energy costs because the safety signs use the sun’s energy through solar panels to generate the flashing LED lights.

 

One example of a solar powered safety sign would be a solar powered stop sign with four flashing red LED lights surrounding the word stop.  The flashing LED red lights draw the attention of a driver to the stop sign that might have otherwise missed it if they were distracted and there were no flashing lights.  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.

 

Solar signs come in all different shapes and sizes and have all different types of directions available on the front of them.  There are solar power stop signs, slow, children at play signs, low bridge ahead signs, road work ahead signs, school bus stop ahead signs, deer crossing signs, railroad crossing signs, low shoulder signs and just about any sign imaginable that may be needed for the street company or highway departments.

 

When pedestrians and drivers need to share the road, such as school areas from small children on up to college age kids, it is very important to have a school crossing and pedestrian crossing signs available where drivers can see them.  With the solar panel signs with the LED flashing lights, distracted drivers driving through a campus are more likely to see the signs and slow down their vehicle before causing a potentially deadly accident.

 

In the United States most highways have the speed limit between 60 and 70 mph; however many drivers push this to the limit and drive at least 15 mph over the speed limits causing dangerous conditions for themselves and other drivers on the highway.  Many of the highways, in order to accommodate the ever-growing population and urban sprawl, have placed traffic signals across the highways.  With traffic traveling so fast, it is often difficult for cars to slow down enough to stop at the traffic lights; therefore placing traffic signal ahead signs with the flashing LED lights far enough in advance of the streetlights would be most helpful to drivers, especially those who are traveling faster than the speed limit.  This would give them enough time to slow down before either reaching the traffic light or a car that might be stopped waiting for the light.

LED Lights on Solar Signs Grab Attention from Distracted Drivers

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

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.

Solar Safety Sign Help Distracted Drivers Pay Attention

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009


A solar safety sign company is busy helping highway and roadway crews across the country to make better and safer roadways for travelers using the power and energy of the sun which costs cities and towns very little to implement and run.

 

Solar powered traffic signs are similar to regular traffic signs in that they are the tin traffic signs on a pole; however they have a small design enhancement which would be a short strong pole attached to the back of the pole near the tin sign in which a small solar panel - proportionate to the sign itself - juts out to collect the sun’s rays and generate three or four LED flashing lights on the tin sign.  Solar signs are very economical because they use the sun’s energy instead of batteries which need to be changed often and eventually end up in landfills or long extension cords that use electricity which depletes a city’s resources.

 

Many cities and towns are looking for environmentally friendly ways to help their communities and solar powered signs seem to be just the ticket because they are of reasonable cost to purchase and implement into the community.  There is no need for long extension cords or batteries because a solar powered stop sign and other solar traffic sign use the sun’s energy to generate power to the LED lights that surround the white word on the tin sign.

 

Distracted drivers are a leading cause of vehicle accidents in the United States because people insist on multitasking when driving should be a single task.  Several studies have shown that while cell phone use is a major distraction, it is not the number one driver distraction; many studies have found that eating while driving is the number one distraction.  Several states have banned driving and cell phone use because it is the number two distraction for drivers and now a new distraction has popped up called texting while driving.  This is most dangerous because it is like typing on a tiny laptop computer while trying to navigate the roadway.  Many of the culprits of texting while driving are young teenagers and young adults.

 

With the solar paneled signs, distracted drivers attention is pulled away from their distraction with three or four flashing LED lights on the tin sign to make the sign more visible even on the brightest, sunniest day.  Of course the LED lights help drivers see the stop signs and other solar power traffic signs during inclement weather such as severe thunderstorms or whiteout conditions during severe snowstorms.

 

Drivers can’t always pay attention, a passenger may be talking to them, a child may need their attention, or a split-second decision to turn on the air conditioning or change a radio station can mean the difference between life and death if a driver is in unfamiliar territory and does not see a stop sign that may be partially covered by trees.  LED flashing lights on solar panel stop signs save lives.

Distracted Drivers See Solar Powered Traffic Signs, Heed Their Warnings

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009


Solar powered stop signs are popping up all over the country in order to save lives by helping distracted drivers notice the stop signs because of their four LED flashing lights.

Each and every solar powered sign has either red, yellow or orange flashing LED lights that are powered by the solar panel attached to the pole of the sign and will continually flash up to 12 hours even after the sun has gone down.

Solar powered signs run on the solar energy generated by the sun’s ultraviolet light rays which beams down onto a solar panel that has been retrofitted onto a special signpost in which the wires are incased in metal tubing that runs from the solar panel to the back of the stop sign or whatever type of solar power traffic sign a city is using to generate the LED lights.

Solar signs come in a variety of shapes and sizes just as regular traffic signs do.  There are new neon yellow ‘work ahead’ signs along with the traditional bright orange signs, both with four flashing LED lights that surround the words on the sign to help distracted drivers heed the warnings of the signs.  There are solar powered traffic signs for nearly any occasion such as railroad crossings, deer crossings, school bus stops ahead, emergency entrances, narrow lanes ahead or low shoulder signs.

Distracted drivers are the number one killer on America’s highways today.  Distractions could be all types anything from drunk driving to changing the radio station to eating a burger for lunch while driving to driving with an enormous boat being hauled behind a small pickup truck.  The combinations of distractions are endless.  People also daydream about everything under the sun while they’re driving and they miss their exits, roll through stop signs, drive too fast in work zones or school zones and cause accidents and endanger the lives of other drivers and passengers.  With the solar powered stop signs and other solar powered traffic signs, the distracted driver’s attention is grabbed by the flashing lights and hopefully they observe the warnings of the signs and do as they are directed. 

For all intent and purposes the solar powered signs look like regular traffic signs except for the solar panel attached to the side of it and the three or four flashing LED lights surrounding the bright white word directing the driver as what direction to go or direction to follow.

Many of today’s vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art safety mechanisms to help protect drivers and their passengers in case of an accident.  Solar powered signs help to prevent accidents from happening in the first place.

Solar Light Towers Illuminate Walkways, Highways; Save Lives

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Solar signs are becoming the wave of the future for nearly all streets and highways in order to help save lives and protect the environment.  Solar safety signs are eco-friendly because there is no electricity used to power the LED lights on the signs, just the sun’s ultraviolet light which can give off up to 12 hours of continuous light.

 

A solar light tower could be used in the construction area where they are digging deep into the ground or working late into the night and need a continuous stream of light. However, the construction company does not need the worry of running over electrical cords that power old fashion fluorescent lights.  A solar light tower could be placed every few feet to illuminate an entire stretch of highway while workers work through the night and oncoming traffic is able to see the workers better because of the solar light towers.

 

Solar light towers could help save money and energy for many businesses as well as the street department or highway department.  Large shopping malls and businesses could use the solar light towers in their parking lots in order to help maintain the safety of their customers in addition to saving money because there is no electricity needed to run these LED solar light towers.  Schools and universities could also save money by using the solar powered light towers along their walkways and in parking lots.  Solar powered light towers are perfect for just about any application where light is needed in the evening hours and electricity is not readily available or would be too costly to install and use on a regular basis.

 

Saving money and becoming energy efficient is what switching to solar panel safety lights and towers are all about.  Another way a construction company, power plant or refinery could save money is with a solar gas detector.  A solar gas detector helps detect up to nine different gases and displays a reading from 32 different sensors at a time, all on the sun’s solar power.  These solar gas detectors will help protect workers at power plants, tank farms, paper and pulp manufacturers, planned and mill turnarounds and petrochemical plants in addition to homeland security applications.  Keeping workers and the public safe is the number one priority of many businesses and government entities in doing so while saving money helps everyone. 

 

New advancements in solar power panels allow for continuous light when it is dark, and the detection of gases that could be harmful to people who work in the various power plants and mills or other areas where hazardous gas could go undetected.  In addition, solar traffic signs help alert drivers to oncoming hazards where they might not have noticed them before had they been distracted or otherwise not paying attention.

Solar Powered Traffic Signs, Perfect for All Whether Applications

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Solar powered signs work great in hazardous weather conditions like rain, snow 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 traffic signs such as slow, yield, stop, traffic light ahead 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, heavy equipment crossing, danger signs, farm equipment crossing signs, hospital zones, school zones, work zones, reduce speed ahead signs or any type of metal traffic sign can be designed as a solar traffic sign to include flashing LED lights for more alertness from drivers and pedestrians.

 

Solar powered stop signs are created with four flashing LED lights in order to enhance the signs of effectiveness at stopping motorists who could be distracted by something inside the vehicle or something outside the vehicle.  Several research projects have been conducted in order to determine what role cell phones and other distractions play on a motorist’s attention span.  The results are astounding; the majority of people are easily distracted whether they believe so or not.

 

Solar powered signs save cities, towns and municipalities countless of thousands of taxpayer dollars per year in energy costs because they are solar powered which means they use the sun’s energy to power the flashing LED lights.  And LED lights last much longer than regular light bulbs or battery operated light bulbs; therefore the solar powered signs are a good investment for many cities and towns.

 

In addition to saving energy, solar powered signs save lives by alerting pedestrians to oncoming traffic, alerting motorists to crossing pedestrians, or deer or other obstacles that may impair their driving ability.  Solar powered signs are a good investment for any city or town in order to save both lives and energy costs.
