Fluorescent Pink Roll-up Sign
Reflexite is proud to offer a Fluorescent Pink Roll-up Sign that is designed specifically for use for traffic incident management situations. Our Fluorescent Pink solutions offer an effective way to get the attention of motorists as they approach an unplanned roadway event.
Reflexite Fluorescent Pink Roll-up Signs are constructed similar to Super Bright sign substrates and comply with 2003 edition Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) section VI, Chapter 6I, “Traffic Control Through Traffic Incident Management Areas.”
Like all Reflexite brand roll-up signs, Fluorescent Pink signs feature Enhanced Surface Preparation (ESP) Coating.
Fluorescent Pink Roll-up Sign (Product Bulletin)
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) defines a traffic incident as “an emergency road user occurrence, a natural disaster, or other unplanned event that affects or impedes the normal flow of traffic.” Examples of unplanned roadway incidents include:
- A stalled vehicle blocking a lane
- A traffic crash blocking the traveled way
- A hazardous material spill along a highway
- Natural disasters
The latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) includes a new section, part VI, Chapter 6I, entitled, “Control of Traffic Through Traffic Incident Management Areas.”
In this section, a new color has been assigned for use only during unplanned roadway incidences. Just like the color orange indicates a work zone, now fluorescent pink indicates a traffic incident.
BENEFITS OF EMPLOYING FLUORESCENT PINK ROADWAY DEVICES FOR INCIDENT MANAGEMENT:
- Signifies a change in traffic flow ahead
- Helps to expect that emergency personnel may be in the roadway
- Reduces the number of secondary incidents (a traffic crash that happens as a result of the primary unplanned event)
