Safety
is a critical concern in areas where pedestrians, school children
and bicyclists compete with motorized vehicles.
Drivers need advanced warning of safety zones, such
as crossings and intersections, where they share the roadway with
unprotected users. Improved methods for alerting drivers that special
caution is required help to minimize accidents and save lives.
New
Fluorescent Yellow Green warning signs do a better job of commanding
driver attention
Fluorescent Yellow Green reflective sheeting may now
be used on warning signs because it provides greater visibility
than the standard yellow traffic signs.
Because of their unique luminescent qualities, Fluorescent
Yellow Green signs are brighter rain or shine - 24 hours a day!
As a result, these new sign attract driver attention
sooner, enabling motorists to slow down and respond with caution.
Fluorescent Yellow Green signs are FHWA
approved
The Federal Highway Administration has approved the
new color for signing at pedestrian, school and bicycle crossings
as a result of proven performance.
Tests comparing the safety impact of Fluorescent Yellow
Green signs with the standard yellow signs showed that in areas
where yellow green signs were used:
· The number of drivers slowing down increased by 50 to 100 percent.
· The number of near-miss conflicts between motorists and pedestrians
was reduced
· by nearly the same percentages.

Fluorescent
Yellow Green sheeting gives superior visibility 24 hours a day
Because of its improved fluorescent and reflective
qualities, Yellow Green sheeting does a better job of commanding
driver attention in both daytime and nighttime conditions and in
all kinds of weather.
Daytime visibility studies have shown these new signs
can be seen at distances up to 40 percent further than standard
yellow colors. At night, the Fluorescent Yellow Green signs can
be detected at distances up to 50 percent greater than standard
signs.
Fluorescent Yellow Green signs are also more visible
at dawn and dusk, as well as in bad weather - times when it is particularly
difficult to see pedestrians, children and cyclists.
