BlinkerSigns® are the brightest, most conspicuous signs for alerting drivers to traffic condition ahead Federally Compliant BlinkerSigns® are built to conform to the specifications of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), as stipulated by the latest version of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Beware of non-compliant imitations that could expose you to liability.

  TAPCO builds BlinkerSigns® from the ground up, starting with 3M™ VIP or DG3 reflective sheeting on state-spec high-grade aluminum, further protected with 3M™ anti-graffiti film. Each sign is then fitted with ultra-bright Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with a light-enhancing magnifying lens that increases the sign’s visibility range up to twenty times. The visual footprint of the LEDs is several times larger than any other traffic control device, so it impacts drivers more dramatically.

  Most BlinkerSigns® are built with an LED on each of the vertices (corners) of the sign. On some signs, additional LEDs are added at midpoints to assist drivers in recognizing the shape (and thus the message type) of the sign. The LED colors match the sign’s background color and shape so drivers will immediately recognize the flashing shape and message, allowing them to react sooner.

  Our latest generation of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is so bright, that we use circuitry to instantly and automatically dim their night-time brightness! BlinkerSigns® are effective all day long, especially in rain, fog, snow, and in low light conditions.

  BlinkerSigns® can be programmed to operate autonomously either 24/7 or during low light conditions (dusk-to-dawn). Run times can also be programmed using a Palm™ programmer, or activated using a key or spectrum radio transmitter.

  Melding LED technology with solar and battery power results in an energy-efficient device that will dependably alert traffic utilizing renewable energy, without adding to electrical budgets and pollution. If you have a traffic situation that can be improved by increasing or advancing drivers’ awareness, let BlinkerSigns® technology light
the way!
