Durable Sign Construction
Each sign is crafted from long-lasting aluminum with high-performance coatings that resist fade, graffito, and rough weather. Choose between our standard laminate for a cost-effective solution or the premium laminate with 3M ProShield laminate for extra protection. Designed to endure years of outdoor exposure, these signs retain their brightness and readability in all conditions. The clear symbols and vibrant reflective sheeting keep every traffic sign easily visible in low-light settings.
Understanding Grade Signs
Grade signs play a crucial role in traffic management by warning drivers of elevation changes on a road. When a steep grade is present, drivers must adjust their speed and be prepared for the incline or descent. Our signs come in a variety of designs and angles to match the specific terrain. From a modest 5% grade to a dramatic 15% grade, each sign provides necessary information to help reduce risk in potentially hazardous areas.
Visible Warnings That Work
Visibility is key to effective warning signs. Our reflective signs feature bold black text and graphic symbols on a yellow background for optimal contrast. Whether you select a slow ahead sign, hill ahead sign, or a more customized traffic warning, you can trust that each sign commands attention. Reflectivity ensures that drivers see the message from a distance—day or night—no matter the weather or road condition.
Grade and Hill Warning Applications
Steep grade warnings are commonly used in mountainous regions, construction zones, and residential roads with sharp inclines. If your location features any of these potentially hazardous elements, a visible sign can help reduce speeding and improve overall traffic behavior. These signs also work well in combination with hidden driveway signs or sharp curve ahead signs to offer comprehensive warning coverage.
Built to Withstand the Elements
When it comes to resisting fading and weathering, our signs are engineered for endurance. Rain, snow, sun, and even urban grime won't compromise their effectiveness. Our diamond grade reflective sheeting and optional 3M ProShield laminate offer next-level protection from UV rays, salt, and abrasives. Say goodbye to fade and graffiti—say hello to long-lasting, readable signage.
Graffiti-Resistant Design
Keeping graffiti from your sign is a top priority. That's why our premium laminate options include anti-graffito coatings that make it easy to wipe off paint, marker, and sticker residue without damaging the sign. Combined with a sturdy build and a resilient design, each traffic sign stays legible and professional even in high-risk areas.
Affordable and Flexible Options
Whether you need one or one hundred signs, we offer flexible pricing starting at just $12.95 for 1 sign. For added protection, upgrade to $15.95 for 1 sign with 3M ProShield laminate or premium laminate. These standard and upgraded options are ideal for municipalities, private contractors, and businesses alike.

Lasting Visibility and Reflectivity
Visibility is never a concern with our high-grade reflective materials. Every ahead sign is produced with visibility in mind, using retroreflective elements that bounce light back to drivers’ eyes even in the darkest weather. Choose from standard, high-intensity, or diamond grade reflective surfaces depending on the conditions your sign will face. Reflective technology ensures drivers will always spot the warning in time.
