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.

Busy Drivers see Solar Powered Traffic Signs; Save Lives

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Life is busy but when people are driving, they need to be driving and not ‘multi-tasking’ because distracted drivers are the number one cause of accidents all across the world.  One way to combat these automobile accidents is to use solar traffic signs to help alert drivers to pay attention to what lies ahead.  Solar powered traffic signs contain LED flashing lights to help draw attention to what the sign is indicating to the driver.

Solar powered traffic signs come in a wide array of styles to fit any type of traffic need.  A city or state could order custom made solar powered traffic signs that fit within their budget and help to save the lives of their workers and citizens.

Solar powered signs use the sun’s power to generate flashing LED lights that surround the words on the sign in order to help drivers notice these signs and do what is indicated on the sign.  The LED flashing lights are usually red, yellow or orange and draw the attention of a driver to the sign so it can not be missed.  Because they use the sun’s solar power, there is no need for dangerous power cords or costly gas for generators to make these signs effective. Solar panel installers are trained professionals and the procedure to install a solar powered traffic sign is fairly straight forward and simple.

Solar powered traffic signs save lives by drawing a driver’s attention to the flashing lights on the sign in addition to saving money by using the sun’s solar energy.  Countless studies have been conducted as to what extent drivers are distracted by cell phone use, eating, talking, adjusting the radio or using a CD player, putting on makeup or reading and even text messaging while driving are all distracting to drivers.  This list does not even include someone who is distracted within their own thoughts from a bad day at work or a fight with their spouse.  Distractions will always be a part of a driver’s daily commute; however the solar powered traffic signs with the LED flashing lights will help bring a driver back to the “here and now” and help them to avoid potential accidents.

Solar Traffic Signs Perfect For Construction Zones, Pedestrian Crossings, Ambulances Entrances Etc

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Solar traffic signs use the sun’s rays to generate power to flashing LED (light emitting diode) lights that surround a word, group of words or an arrow to help draw a driver’s attention to the sign so they could heed its warnings.  Solar powered traffic signs such as 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 for one reason or another.

 

Other solar traffic signs include deer crossing, heavy equipment crossing, danger signs, farm equipment crossing signs, hospital zone ahead, 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 which have been shown to save lives and money.

 

Solar powered signs work great in hazardous weather conditions like fog, rain or snow; therefore they would be perfect for a construction site or works 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.  Construction zones always have a lot 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.

 

Solar powered safety signs save cities, towns and municipalities countless 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 traffic signs and safety signs save lives by alerting pedestrians to oncoming traffic or alerting motorists to crossing pedestrians, 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.

Solar Signs Create Light, Safety with Renewable Energy from the Sun

Friday, March 6th, 2009

A solar sign uses the sun’s energy in order to power LED lights which illuminate ordinary traffic signs, construction signs, work zone signs, hospital zone signs, children at play signs and various types of warning signs like railroad crossing signs or danger, high-voltage wires nearby.

 

LED lights burn brighter and last longer than ordinary fluorescent lights and could be used on a safety sign in order to save money because there is no electricity needed, only the sun’s ultraviolet light.  Safety signs could be considered any signs that help direct traffic or save lives because they are there to protect drivers from other traffic.  An example of a safety sign is solar powered stop signs which have four flashing LED lights to help draw a driver’s attention to the stop sign which they might have otherwise missed had there not been flashing lights on the stop sign.  Many accidents happen at stop signs because people do not realize there is a stop sign there and drive past it crashing into another car that may have the right away.  With a solar powered stop sign and the flashing LED lights, it is less likely that a driver would miss the stop sign because they would be able to see it from a longer distance, even if they were not paying attention, the LED flashing lights could be seen out of the corner of one’s eye in order to heed the warnings.

 

Countless accidents are caused by distractions including cell phone use, eating while driving, adjusting the radio, looking for something in a purse or a bag, reading directions or using a GPS navigational system, talking to a passenger or simply thinking about other things rather than focusing all one’s concentration and attention on the road ahead and what dangers might be lurking just around the corner.  Driving requires the person behind the wheels full attention although this is rarely the case because there is so much going on in life that it spills over into the car along with us.

 

Solar traffic signs, such as the solar powered stop sign or a solar powered speed limit sign, could help save lives while saving municipalities, cities and towns thousands of dollars in electrical costs.  However, there is no price to be put on a life to be saved by solar powered traffic signs.

 

Solar powered signs help to illuminate the numbers on a speed limit sign, the letters on the stop sign, the silhouette of a deer on a deer crossing sign and generally brighten all directional or traffic signs for drivers and pedestrians who use the roadways and highways so that they may be safer while their city and state saves taxpayer money.

Construction Zones, Hospital Zones, School Zones; Solar Traffic Signs Work In All Zones

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Solar powered stop signs are used in many different areas around the country in order to help alert drivers to the stop sign they might have otherwise missed because of natural distractions (like ones thoughts) within the car or outside of the car (like rubbernecking to see an accident).

 

In addition to solar powered stop signs with the flashing LED lights, there are many different styles of solar traffic signs available to construction companies, schools, colleges and universities, hospitals and emergency rooms facilities, fire departments and cities and towns.  These solar powered traffic signs use the sun’s power to generate flashing LED lights which helped to attract a driver’s attention to the traffic sign so they will adhere to what the sign designates they do.  For example, a solar powered speed limit sign installed near a school will help drivers realize they are entering a school zone and to begin slowing down to the designated speed limit because they have seen the flashing LED lights that highlight the speed limit on the sign.

 

LED solar sign lights that are placed on solar traffic signs help alert motorists to many different hazards along their path.  Large construction vehicles entering and exiting the highway could have a solar powered traffic sign placed near the road to notify drivers of this impending action.

 

Many accidents in construction zones are down because of solar powered traffic signs and work areas where pedestrians and large heavy construction equipment share the roadway.  A driver of large heavy construction equipment may not be able to see a person on the road; however they will be able to see the solar sign panel and the flashing LED lights as they come up to a crosswalk in their work area.  These solar powered traffic signs will help to prevent many accidents.

 

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 powered traffic signs such as solar powered speed limit signs, solar powered yield signs and solar powered stop signs.

 

Whether it’s a construction zone, school zone or hospital zone, solar powered safety signs and traffic signs can help to save many lives.

Solar Powered Traffic Signs Save Lives; School Zones, Hospital Zones

Monday, February 16th, 2009

There are many different styles of solar traffic signs that can help alert motorists to potential dangers on the road they are traveling.  Solar powered traffic signs include slow speed signs, yield signs, pedestrian crossing signs, and deer crossing signs, traffic light ahead in addition to solar powered stop signs.  These solar powered signs make a difference in the number of traffic accidents in and around where they have been stalled.

 

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 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. 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 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.

 

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) but 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.

Solar Powered Signs Prevent Accidents; Work Zones, School Zones

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

 

Workplace accidents are nearly impossible to avoid altogether; however they can be more preventable by using solar powered stop signs in order to alert pedestrians and oncoming traffic that someone may be driving by with heavy machinery or other large construction vehicles.

 

Solar traffic signs use the sun’s energy in order to work four flashing LED lights on the surface of the signs in order to help alert motorists and pedestrians to what the sign is “saying.”  For example, a solar powered stop sign has four red LED flashing lights near the corners of the sign surrounding the word stop.  When someone is driving and not paying attention, a flashing light will help divert their attention back to the road or to the sign in order to do what they need to do to remain safe and continue on their journey.

 

Solar powered signs used in work zones along the highway can alert oncoming traffic to a slowdown of other cars in front of them. For instance, a speed sign with flashing LED lights will be more effective than a regular speed sign in deterring speeding in work zones where highway construction workers have been injured at an alarming rate.

 

There are many distractions in a school zone when parents are picking up or dropping off their children and school buses are waiting to pull out in addition to children being everywhere and among the cars at one time.  Solar powered safety signs will help keep motorists alert to what is going on around them in order to keep all children safe from avoidable car or bus accidents.

 

Solar powered signs are good for the environment because they do not use electricity when helping to alert drivers or pedestrians to what is going on around them.  The solar panel is used to collect the sun’s energy in order to generate power for the four flashing LED lights.  The four flashing LED lights are what attracts the attention of pedestrians and motorists who may otherwise be distracted to the sign.  Many tests have shown that motorists are easily distracted by the simplest tasks such as talking - either to a passenger or on the cell phone - adjusting the radio or popping a CD in a CD player or eating.

 

Solar powered traffic signs save lives in addition to saving energy.  They are worth the initial cost because there is no cost greater than the loss of life due to an automobile accident that could have been avoided if someone had only been paying attention.

Solar Powered Traffic Signs, Perfect for All Whether Applications

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.

Solar Powered Stop Signs save Lives with LED Lights

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Everyone knows that the rule of four way stop etiquette is that the first person to a stop sign is the first person who gets to leave the stop sign.  However, more and more motorists are prone to ignore stop signs completely because they are too distracted with something going on in the car such as children or dogs or perhaps a cell phone call; one’s own thoughts are often a distraction to drivers causing them not to pay attention and speed through stop signs that were put there for a purpose, the safety of all drivers and pedestrians in the general area.

 

With solar powered stop signs, more distracted drivers will be alerted to stop where they are supposed to because of the four flashing LED lights that surround the words ‘stop’ on each of these solar powered signs.  Solar powered signs are good for the environment because they use the sun’s energy to generate enough power for 12 continuous hours of flashing solar sign lights.

 

Besides solar powered stop signs, there are other solar traffic signs available for cities and towns, schools, construction sites, highway work zones or anywhere there are pedestrians and cars sharing a roadway.  Other solar traffic signs include yield signs, speed limit signs, and railroad crossing signs, school bus stop ahead signs, heavy equipment crossing signs, farm equipment crossing signs, hospitals and school zone signs, slow signs, pedestrian crossing signs or deer crossing signs, each equipped with a solar panel on top and flashing LED lights surrounding the words or picture on the sign.

 

Recent research has shown that many drivers are distracted with simple things like eating, cell phone calls, reading directions, talking with a passenger (or several), “rubbernecking” in order to see an accident or other traffic problems or fiddling with the radio or CD player.  Solar powered stop signs cannot help people from being distracted, it’s a natural occurrence that will happen again and again no matter how vigilant a person is. However, the solar powered stop signs can help motorists become more alert to what their surroundings are trying to tell them with flashing LED lights.

 

Solar powered stop signs save lives by getting people’s attention with the flashing LED lights that a stop is needed in order to safely proceed to your destination.

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.
