Vertical marking

タイトルまたは説明

The vertical signage is mounted to the ground using specially prepared assembly systems whose task is to keep the signs in position. The construction should be solid and accurate so that the signs are not distorted or destroyed under the influence of strong wind.

Marking on roads is a very important part of road traffic. When moving along the roadway, we see many horizontal signs, however this vertical marking is the most visible and often the most important. Vertical signs are available in types defined by traffic regulations. However, the types of such markings also include direction indicators, islet markings, various types of signs informing about changes in the direction or method of movement, and many more.

Vertical signage is one of the most common on the roads. We see these signs as the first, staring ahead of us. They play a very important role and are in a sense the main equipment of the roadway. Together with horizontal signs, they form a good organization of traffic on all types of roads.

The vertical marking should always be carefully thought out. Each character must stand in an allowed place, including traffic regulations. Thanks to the signs, the drivers know who has priority in a given place, where to stop or where to go. Most often it is the vertical marking that indicates one-way roads, informs about road works, destroyed roadways or changes in the area of vehicle traffic. It allows drivers to find out when they need to be released, where the built-up area begins or where children can play.

Vertical marking is necessary on roads around the world. There are several most important vertical signs, those that regulate traffic, but there are also those whose presence is justified not only by road safety rules but, for example, by the proximity of a given town or tourist route. We may think that the signs are too much, that sometimes they are not needed, but without them on the road there would certainly be chaos.

Road signs are divided into: prohibition, warning, warrant, informative. 

Road signs

The presence of road signs in some areas of our country may arouse some controversy. One often hears that a sign has been put in a bad place or somewhere there are signs that are mutually exclusive. You should go to the road administration with this problem, but imagine that all road signs disappear from the road. How would the movement function then be managed? Any driver on his or her own skin would feel the inconvenience of not marking properly.

Road signs on urban, national and even residential roads are very important. They constitute the main element of traffic control of vehicles and pedestrians. Without them, there would be chaos, the number of corks and accidents would increase, not to mention traffic jams and problems with moving into traffic.

We usually divide road signs by basic category:

- traffic signs of the order

- prohibition traffic signs

- warning road signs

There are of course also many information signs and markings, which may differ from each other in their form and colors.

Each road sign must be very visible, which is why all of them are kept in a color that easily catches the eye. Of course, for every road sign that plays a role, certain colors are required. Dirty road markings should be cleaned as soon as possible, and if they are destroyed - replace them.

The universality of road signs on roads proves that the managers take security very seriously on the roadways. Of course, too many of them will rather disturb instead of simplifying, which is why each sign should be carefully selected and set according to traffic regulations.

Production of road signs

it must follow the recommendations set out above. You can not execute red warning signs or warning signs in green or violet. The color scheme among these elements is extremely important and every manufacturer of road signs must strictly stick to the rules.

Road signs are elements that we meet every day, going for a walk or getting into a car. We do not pay much attention to them on a day-to-day basis, unless we are at the wheel of a vehicle. However, these are products, without which all traffic would be disturbed, it is difficult to imagine what would happen on the roads if the signs were missing.

In the offer you will find signs of various types - prohibitory signs, commanding (also those used on road islands), warning signs, E type signs (eg informing about the roundabout), signs used on checkpoints or road works, and many more.

It can be said that the choice is wide, but in the case of road signs, each product must be adapted to the right roads. Traffic signs determine who has priority, set the direction of traffic, very often inform about obstacles on the road. They are universal elements of all roads, and their presence is necessary. Regardless of whether we travel on national or foreign roads, we can count on the fact that the presence of road signs will help us navigate the road.

Dimensions of road signs

They may differ from each other depending on the way they are set. When driving through national and city roads, it seems to us that all road signs look the same, they are the same size and width. This is not true. The dimensions of road signs are divided into:

- extra-large (W) - placed on highways and main roads

- large (D) - placed on express and dual carriageways

- medium (S) - on single-road roads, county roads, as well as on motorway and expressway connections

- small (M) - placed on communal roads

- mini signs (MI) - on obstacle pillars, control boards, commune roads, narrow streets of cities

From this distinction, we can guess that each of the road signs will have different dimensions. Road signs, on broad roads with high traffic, must be clearly visible, therefore larger sizes are necessary. Where the movement is slower, calmer, the signs can be seen without any problems, so that they do not occupy a large surface, they are smaller.

The dimensions of road signs are determined taking into account also aesthetic and economic considerations. The overall dimensions for the characters in question have been set top-down, although minor concessions are allowed in certain cases.

Basic dimensions of road signs depending on the type:

type A warning signs: W: ***0 mm, D: ***0 mm, S: **0 mm, M: **0 mm, MI: **0 mm

Type B and C warrant and prohibition: W: ***0 mm, D: **0 mm, S: **0 mm, M: **0 mm MI: **0 mm

type D information: signs differ in general dimensions, but they have fixed dimensions of the base length: W: ***0 mm, D: **0 mm, S and M: **0 mm, MI: **0 mm.

The performance of road signs with different dimensions promotes their better visibility in specific areas. Vertical signage is one of the main elements of road traffic organization, therefore the dimensions of traffic signs should be adapted to the circumstances so that drivers can see them in every situation.

Prohibition road signs - round shape, red border, most often white interior and symbol in black. These are some of the most important road markings on all types of roadways and all drivers, cyclists and pedestrians should follow them.

Among the road signs of the ban, we find, among others:

- no stopping

- no right or left turn

- no entry

- no entry for specific vehicles

- no overtaking

- a ban on exceeding a specific speed

And many more.

Road signs of the ban help to bring order to the road, protect both drivers and the roads themselves from damage, accidents, collisions and unforeseen events. It is thanks to them that drivers know where they can not enter, what speed to cross or where to be particularly careful. The prohibition signs also include the most important road sign, characteristic shape and general appearance. The STOP sign, which is even backlit on dark routes. Its external appearance is so characteristic that everyone can see it from a distance. Every participant of the movement should follow this sign. He often prevented dangerous events on the roads.

The road signs of the prohibition, just like other types of road signs, should be set wherever they are needed. Road managers need to remember that the lack of such a mark even in one place can have serious consequences. Drivers should also remember that the signs of prohibition clearly and clearly say that something is forbidden to do.

When traveling on urban or national roads, we often find signs of prohibition. Every driver should be aware that by seeing such a sign he should follow the recommendations he presents. Road signs of the ban are designed to keep order on the roads, prevent excessive speed, overtaking in disallowed places, also liquefied traffic in the city, saying where to be careful, where you are not allowed to enter, and so on. Without these signs, traffic would be disturbed, and chaos would prevail on the roads.
