24/7 Flashing Alert Solutions
In addition to a huge variety of standard and custom static signs, we offer flashing beacons and signs featuring high-intensity LEDs that automatically adjust their brightness throughout the day.

Key 24/7 Flashing Alert Solutions Include:

Nearly 70,000 pedestrians are injured and 6,000 killed on U.S. streets each year, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). Protect pedestrians with innovative safety solutions – including those with touchless, thermal activation – before it’s too late.

Save lives by catching drivers’ attention and alerting them of danger ahead in a variety of settings.

Key Driver Awareness Solutions Include:

Wrong-Way Alert Solutions

Wrong-way driving crashes cause about 1,500 fatalities in the U.S. each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Keep false positives low and reduce wrong-way events at notorious wrong-way driver entry points:

• Side-by-side highway entrances and exit ramps
• Exit ramps near side streets
• Poorly lit entrance and exit ramps

Curve Warning Solutions

Engineered to fit the contours of any curve, the BlinkerChevron™ Dynamic Curve Warning System features wirelessly connected LED-enhanced signs to reduce in-curve speeds, keeping drivers on the road.

• Sequential or simultaneous flash patterns
• Various flash activation capabilities, including vehicle presence, speed and weather smart detection
• Integrates with advance curve warning alerts and message boards
• Double-sided system available

Speed Awareness Solutions

Speeding is involved with approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities, according to the NHTSA. When static signs aren't controlling speeders, turn to speed awareness solutions proven to reduce vehicle speeds.

Overheight Warning Solutions

Reduce major crash factors at low bridges, tunnels, weigh stations, underpasses, parking structures and any low-clearance hazards by:

• Detecting vehicles that won't clear the structure ahead
• Notifying drivers of height restrictions, bringing attention back to the road
• Directing drivers to a safe, alternate route
