Aren’t the rules for reflective signs about to change [again] in 2009?
Yes, this is likely to be true. I may be stepping out on a limb, but here are some of our predictions: • High Intensity or Diamond Grade sheeting will be required for all traffic signs. • Engineer grade signs, however, are likely to be acceptable for parking signs. • The official rules will take another two years in gestation. And, once they go into effect, traffic sign users will have from seven to ten years to phase in new signs. • The impact will be that most sign buyers will start to switch all orders for traffic signs to these brighter materials. Given the liability and lifecycle economics, this is probably the rational outcome. Understand, of course, that rules change and that politics [can you imagine this!!] may interfere with the trends that look to be in place now. So, please check the rules as the develop!
