As traffic sign manufacturers, we make road signs safer with our reflectors. While road signs may seem obvious to some, there are certain situations where they become less so. For example:
Another example is our chevron road signs. When driving in bad weather or at night, sharp corners aren’t always obvious. When the temperature starts to drop in Michigan, not slowing down for a sharp corner can become fatal. Incidents such as black ice increase the driver’s breaking time, making it more likely that they’ll collide with another vehicle or a stationary structure. Our reflective chevrons make each part of the curve obvious, giving them a chance to adjust their speed accordingly. As a result, the chances of an accident occurring drop significantly.
Ensuring pedestrians remain safe with aluminum post reflectors
Pedestrian safety isn’t always easy to maintain, especially when it’s dark. It becomes even more challenging when big events are taking place, as passing vehicles may not see large crowds until it’s too late.
Using aluminum post reflectors , it’s possible to make safety devices such as bollards, temporary posts, and crowd control structures more obvious. Available in a range of sizes, the use of aluminum means they can withstand poor weather conditions. As each one features a reflective color that becomes obvious when car headlights hit them, they make it easier for drivers to see where pedestrianized areas are, preventing them from driving onto them as a result.
Latest Changes to Michigan Department of Transport’s Highway Delineator Post Reflector Sizes
Did you know that the Michigan Department of Transport recently changed its highway delineator post size requirements? They were once 4” x 8” only, now they’re 3” x 9” and 3” x 12”, depending on local requirements.
To ensure your highways aren’t in breach of the latest changes, we’ve adapted our small reflector post sizes accordingly. If you’re yet to make the change, browse through our stock and find the right safety tools for your signage.
If you’re trying to make your home and mailbox obvious, we have small post reflectors for you too
At Dornbos Sign and Safety, we appreciate that it isn’t just local government departments or businesses that need sign post reflectors. If you live in a rural area where your mailbox is situated away from your house, you’re probably familiar with how easy it is for vehicles to knock them while driving in the dark. One way to resolve this is to use a small post reflector. They’re ideal for fences, mailboxes, and other house structures that are vulnerable to road users. After becoming clear in a vehicle’s headlights, the driver will automatically avoid driving into them. Additionally, you may find that they’re useful for making your location more obvious to visitors and the emergency services.
