Solar Powered Signs; Provide Additional Safety for Construction Sites

Monday, January 19th, 2009

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.

Solar Powered Traffic Signs save Taxpayer Dollars; Drivers Lives

Monday, January 12th, 2009

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.

 

Solar Signs All The Time

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Signs serve a very important purpose. They direct people to places and things. And in some cases, such as in pedestrian areas, construction zones, schools and safety areas, they prevent people from getting hurt. Avoid injury by installing solar traffic signs. These solar signs are highly visible no matter the weather. They’ve also got lightning and voltage protection so that they’re operable in many weather conditions. Plus, they’re equipped with a heavy duty battery, severe duty solar panel and a solid state controller

Solar Stop Signs And Solar Traffic Signs

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Solar stop signs are a good idea because they need to be visible, and the simple white-on-red motif is just not good enough anymore. Once upon a time they were great, because drivers didn’t have a lot of color on the road to distract them. These days, everything’s red. Or flashing. Combat that input overload with solar traffic signs. Do what you have to, to make sure people see what they need to see.

Construction Signs And Solar Traffic Signs

Don’t simply do the bare minimum when it comes to construction signs and other devices designed to keep people safe. In today’s world, these things have a lot to compete with, so a little added attention-getting ability is a big plus. That’s why solar traffic signs are such a good idea. They get people’s attention. The solar power runs flashing lights, which are what make these signs more visible than the average signs.

Solar Traffic Signs In Gereral Or Solar Signs In Particular

If you are wondering about the value of solar signs, that value is twofold. For one thing, the flashing lights make them more visible. Since the purpose of safety signs is to keep people safe, don’t you think that greater visibility is a good thing? Especially if the site is in a busy city where people may not notice them as much. Solar traffic signs will be seen by more people and prevent quite a few traffic accidents. The other benefit is that the flashing lights are powered by the sun and therefore don’t have to take power from the grid to operate, thereby saving you money and saving the earth’s energy resources.

Solar Traffic Signs And Solar LED Signs

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Not only are these solar LED signs great for the safety of your workers, they are highly durable as well. You may think that additional parts or flashing lights mean more to break. And construction sites are no places for dainty equipment. These things are tough, though, just like the solar traffic signs. They’re made to be used where they’re needed most – in hazardous areas. Let them make those areas less dangerous.
