Product Details

Grooved Pavement Sign - W8-15

Designed to enhance road safety, this grooved pavement sign alerts motorcyclists, bicyclists, and other road users to upcoming changes in road surface texture. Specifically recommended for areas with horizontal curves featuring skid resistance treatments or unique pavement materials like brick surfaces, the sign provides critical advance warning of potentially challenging road conditions. Constructed with high-quality reflective aluminum featuring radius corners, the sign meets both DOT and MUTCD state and federal guidelines. The 3/8" prepunched holes ensure easy installation, while high-intensity and diamond-grade reflective sheeting guarantees maximum visibility in various lighting and weather conditions. Alternate legends such as "TEXTURED PAVEMENT" or "BRICK PAVEMENT" can be used to provide precise surface condition information.
