Signage
Signage is a constant necessity in our lives. Due to the complexity of places we visit and the difficulty of knowing where you are, the signs you can see give you the information that you might need to be in the right place at the right time. Signs control traffic, highlight directional information, urge caution for unknown dangers, and help to reserve parking for those in need of assistance.
Sign Plate Construction
Signs are typically made from varying thicknesses of aluminum. The intensity or reflective level required for each type of sign is not only dependent upon location and application, but also on the jurisdiction that controls where the sign is to be installed. In Arizona ADOT is responsible for designating signage requirements (https://www.azdot.gov/business/engineering-and.../traffic/...signs/regulatory-signs).
Sign Support Elements
Signage has an auxiliary component - the sign post. Although signs can be mounted to building walls, overhead traffic poles, lamp posts and other structures, the most common mounting is with a separate post. The posts can be anywhere from a simple round tube to u-channel to square tube. Some projects require floating bases while others may need a solid steel or concrete bollard to prevent damage to the signage.
