Signs, Stoplights & Traffic Signals for Texas
Drivers continually scan Texas roadways for information on when to stop, when and how fast to go, and where to turn. Our signs, stoplights and traffic signals make it obvious.
Traffic Lights, Road Signs & Traffic Signals – Vital for Public Safety
Texas city, county and state agencies use signs, stoplights and traffic signals to manage vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic on urban and rural roadways. Texans are always on the go, and the way they get there changes over time. That means the signals they need to travel safely often need to be reevaluated and updated. We base stoplights, signs and traffic signals on
- Traffic patterns
- Traffic volume
- Average speeds
Without adequate signs and signals, traffic would create total chaos. Drivers wouldn’t know when to go and when to stop. The confusion would increase pedestrian related accidents. Striping Technology helps improve safety by putting the right signs and signals in all the right places.
Road Signs
Road signs communicate the rules unique to specific highways, toll roads, and private roads available for public use. They post regulations, offer warnings and provide guidance for drivers through words, symbols, arrows, high contrast colors and other means. Requirements and standards for road signs vary, but our experts know requirements for freeways, expressways, conventional roads, special purpose roads and more.
Stoplights
Stoplights command attention, even when drivers are tired, distracted, have impaired vision or driving in low light surroundings. City, state and local agencies choose stoplights and traffic lights after careful study of roadways, traffic flows and other conditions, then plan timing to meet the needs of pedestrian, vehicle and bicycle traffic. When used properly, they’re one of the most effective ways to assign right-of-way and influence the flow of traffic.
Traffic Signals
Traditional stoplights aren’t the only type of device that grabs attention and controls traffic flow. Striping Technology, L.P. also provides pedestrian signals that assign right-of-way to pedestrians in times of crossing, special signals or flashing beacons that direct traffic to proceed with caution and other traffic signals as needed.
Committed to Keeping Texans Safe
Improved Traffic Flow Through Traffic Signals
Make dangerous intersections and roadways safer by helping drivers know when to stop and when to go and warning of hazards ahead.
Cities like Houston and Dallas experience visible evidence of air pollution from traffic, but it affects us all. Lowering fuel consumption helps.
Cars spend less time idling at a standstill, so drivers consumer less fossil fuels, benefitting both consumer budgets and the environment.
Accidents bring traffic to a halt. Poorly managed intersections and obstructions cause slowdowns. Signs and signals keep drivers moving.
Choosing Traffic Signs, Stoplights & Traffic Signals
Basic principles cover design and use of signs, stoplights and traffic signals. To yield the desired results, each device should:
- Fulfill a need
- Grab driver and pedestrian attention
- Communicate meaning as clearly and simply as possible
- Draw respect from drivers
- Allow enough advance warning for drivers to take the desired action
That means uniformity is important. Each device should have a universally recognizable size, shape, color, contrast and simplicity of message. Placement and positioning are equally important. Striping Technology, L.P. can help with all of the above.
