3M™ Reflective Sheetings3M™ Diamond Grade™ Reflective Sheeting: Diamond Grade reflective sheeting is a cube corner reflective sheeting which is at least three times brighter than encapsulated lens sheeting and up to ten times brighter than enclosed lens sheeting. This means greater visibility for drivers in all roadway conditions. It performs at entrance angles up to 60 degrees, allowing wide flexibility in sign placement. Diamond Grade provides the brightest reflective performance of any durable sign sheeting available.
3M™ Hi Intensity Grade Reflective Sheeting: High Intensity Grade reflective sheeting is a durable encapsulated lens sheeting which is designed to be at least three times brighter than Engineer Grade sheeting when new.

3M™High Intensity Prismatic Reflective sheeting meets multiple specifications. Street Name SignsAs our driving population ages, the need for street name signs that provide greater visibility
increases-particularly at night. Tourists and other drivers unfamiliar with the area must see  Street Sign Lettering: Lettering on street name signs should be at least 150 mm (6 inches) high in capital letters or 150 mm (6inches) upper case with 110 mm (4-1/2 inches) lower case letters. Budget Concerns: Budget issues can be resolved by including street names signs funding in 9-1-1 programs WIth enhanced systems, street name sign costs should be recovered through funds allotted to the address tracking portion of the telephone system. And with non-enhanced systems, signage may be paid for as a non-recurring cost, with surplus funds recovered from the telephone bill surcharge.However your community funds improved street signs, it's important to spend those dollars wisely, making sure new signage provides rescue drivers with truly effective guidance. Our street signs deliver the visibility needed, with the superior brightness and angularity that comes from using the very best materials. When you purchase our signs you get the most reliable and effective reflective signs made. That's because we use 3M™ Reflective Sheetings. Back to Top Bright Backgrounds/Bright SignsSigns in urban areas must be able to compete with streetlights, commercial signs and oncoming
headlights for the motorist's attention.

Back to Top Life Cycle Costs and ValueMaintenance costs must be evaluated. Signs should perform over extended periods of time, to justify their cost and the cost of labor to install them. By purchasing signs that will retain their brightness for years to come, you can save maintenance dollars down the road. By purchasing signs that perform at wide viewing angles, you can provide drivers with signs that can be seen even in improperly installed or misaligned. This means added margin of safety.Back to Top Signs for the DisabledIt is important to provide the disabled with access to facilities that equals the access provided to others. It is equally important to mark these access areas so they can be easily located by those who need them. Proper signs can alert the physically challenged to reserved parking spaces, drop-off zones, ramps, entrances and other places accessible to disabled people. Signs for the disabled must have several important characteristics:
Our signs are made from 3M™ Reflective Sheeting. Back to Top School Zone SafetyTo better protect our children, the areas where they walk should be well-signed and marked in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). School Signs Purposes

Back to Top Delivering Safety on Rural RoadsAlthough accidents are more likely to happen in urban areas, they are more likely to be fatal on rural roads. An effective signing program can help increase safety and decrease the possibility of accidents. However, to be effective, a signage program must meet the special requirements a rural setting demands. Many types of highway signs are mounted on curves or the left hand shoulder where headlights do not strike them directly. To ensure that they are easily seen by motorists, the signs must perform at wide angles to allow the driver to view them from an indirect approach.  Darkness is a critical factor because rural roads are typically not lit. Even drivers who know rural roadways well, may have trouble negotiating them at night. That is because visual cues that motorists rely on for 90-95% of their driving information disappear in the dark. Daytime driving can be hazardous too, when poor weather impairs visibility. So, signs in rural areas must be very bright in order to give drivers clear direction under poor visibility conditions. For maximum safety on rural roadways, you should select signs that are designed to deliver exceptional brightness and angularity. Our signs not only meet those key requirements, they're also very durable for cost-effectiveness and long-lasting safety. This is because we use on the finest materials for sign construction. When you purchase our signs you get the most reliable and effective reflective signs made. That's because we use 3M™ Reflective Sheetings. Back to Top Sight DistanceSince rural roads are generally traveled at higher speeds, motorists need as much reaction time as possible. For instance, when traveling at a speed of 60 mph, the average driver needs up to 125 feet to identify a sign and respond accordingly. That's why signs must be placed correctly and must be readable from long distances.Decision sight-distance model: new research figures show the actual time required for drivers to make decisions and complete safe maneuvers.
 Back to Top Bicycle Routes
Regardless of their individual messages, all bicycle path/route signs should meet the
same requirements. They must be bright and clearly visible day and night, because the
most dangerous times are during the hours of dawn, dusk and dark. Signs should also be
durable in order to provide years of guidance for everyone sharing the roadways. Our signs give you the long-lasting brightness you need, for high visibility around the clock - because the are made using 3M'™ Reflective Sheetings.
