All Weather Solar Traffic Signs, Stop Signs Perfect for School Grounds

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Many drivers take stop signs for granted, sometimes barely seeing them day after day on their same route to work, home or school.  A solar powered stop sign is designed with four flashing LED lights in order to make the stop sign more visible to motorists.  Solar powered signs work in all types of weather and can be seen through rain, snow, fog or hazardous weather conditions.  Solar powered safety signs include directional signs, stop signs, yield signs, speed warning signs, construction signs, danger sign, and railroad crossing sign, pedestrian crossing sign and emergency vehicle signs.

 

Solar traffic signs use the sun’s energy in order to generate enough power to light the LED lights for up to 12 continuous hours so there is no need to run a dangerous electrical cord to the traffic sign.  The sun’s energy saves thousands of dollars a year in energy costs and helps to save lives.

 

Solar powered traffic signs used near a school can indicate to a distracted driver that children are at play, pedestrians are crossing, school buses are stopping or to reduce their speed.  The flashing LED lights help to alert drivers as to what is going on around them and help them become better drivers.  Drivers are easily distracted, and driving takes a lot of concentration because there is so much to think about and do while driving.  Many people let their thoughts wonder and forget to pay attention to the road; that is why solar powered traffic signs can be a lifesaver to both pedestrians and motorists.

 

Solar sign lights that use the sun’s energy can be placed anywhere outdoors, even under the shade of trees, and are still able to alert drivers with the flashing LED lights.  Flashing LED lights are usually read or orange and set on the four corners surrounding whatever the sign says, or instance the words ‘slow down’, or in the corners of an actual metal sign.  

 

Children at play signs are usually difficult to see or are ignored by motorists who were driving too fast or may be distracted.  A motorist is more likely to see a ‘children at play sign’ when it has flashing solar powered LED lights on it than a regular, non-flashing sign.  The same can be said for all regular traffic signs, they are just not as visible or attention grabbing at the solar powered flashing LED light signs.

LED Flashing STOP Signs Help Motorists at Intersections

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

LED flashing stop signs help motorists at intersections because they alert motorists to stop signs they may not otherwise have seen.  These solar signs, which use the sun’s energy instead of generators, save cities and municipalities untold thousands of dollars each year in maintenance fees, gas fees and in the lives they save by alerting drivers to an upcoming stop sign.

Solar powered stop signs have four flashing LED lights surrounding the word STOP so that motorist’s attention will be drawn to the flashing lights. Therefore, they will receive the stop sign and are better prepared to stop at the upcoming intersection. 

LED safety signs are not only reserved for stop signs, there are LED safety signs for railroad crossings, school crossings, heavy equipment crossings, pedestrian crossings, deer crossings and yield signs at intersections and entrances and exits to the highway.  There are also special made LED safety signs for construction, businesses, and schools that have special needs when it comes to their parking lots or construction yards.

LED flashing stop signs draw the motorists’ attention to the stop sign better than a regular stop sign would, especially on residential streets or busy downtown areas where there is a lot going on and it’s hard to see whether or not there is a stop sign.  Law enforcement praises LED flashing stop signs because they have helped save many people from running stop signs and causing unnecessary accidents, many that lose lives and many that could have been prevented.

Solar Gas Detectors Perfect for Airport Applications

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

 Solar gas detectors and solar safety signs can be found in and around airports to help keep workers and travelers safe.  A solar gas detector is perfect for an airport application because of all the different toxins airplanes give off from their engines, some even while idling and others give off fumes just after shutdown. 

It is important to have solar gas detectors and safety signs for the employees and passengers at the airport to warn them of any possible accidents.  Solar gas detectors do not need costly generators that may contain gas or diesel fuels and therefore are cleaner for the environment.  Solar gas detectors will alert employees in case of the gas leak that could be harmful to airport employees or an airport traveler before the leak becomes hazardous to their health.

Solar signs use the sun’s energy to run LED flashing lights so that more people are aware of the safety signs and pay attention to them better than a regular safety sign with no flashing lights.

The combination of solar safety signs and solar gas detectors are perfect for the airport because of their portability, safety warning capabilities that could save lives when detecting gas and stopping accidents where safety signs with the LED flashing lights are placed.  The airport has hundreds of places that could benefit from solar gas detectors, such as the airplane maintenance area as well as luggage and passenger check-in areas in case of terrorist attack by lethal gases. The safety signs can be placed throughout the airport, both indoors and outdoors, to warn workers and passengers of potential dangers from oncoming golf carts, luggage carriers, and other heavy equipment.

Making Your Work Zone Safe with Solar Safety Signs

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

There are several types of solar signs. Some industrial sites use plant turnaround signs that help prevent accidents and improve traffic flow. A solar powered stop sign through an industrial area or other work area can help to keep it accident free. There are many signs such as the high voltage area sign, overhead crane, and toxic vapor warnings, caution signs for equipment, which warn workers of these potential dangers.    These signs are used in petrochemical, industrial, and commercial areas to prevent workers from getting into different types of accidents on the job. These signs are made for industrial use, and are made to DOT specifications and OSHA requirements.  There are other advantages to these safety signs. They don’t require maintenance like signs powered through electric cables. It keeps costs down because these signs don’t need expensive cables and they minimize roadwork, therefore, saving the company money. They are resistant to wind and hail; they utilize temperature compensation.  All of these safety signs are keeping the work place safe because they warn of potential danger to the employees. Their source of power is much safer than traditional flashing signs. If there are any cables that could fall or become frayed or any other way that could cause a worker to get electrocuted. The flashing traffic signs throughout a plant site are a safer way to conduct traffic through and keep accidents down. They will help to make the work place safer on sunny, foggy, and cloudy days. On top of it, hey flash day and night, 24 hours a day to keep workers safe.

Solar Signs: Energy from the Sun That Prevents Accidents

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

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.
