When Red Light Shows Wait Here - Class RA1 - Temporary - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Instruct drivers and pedestrians to stop at a specific point when the traffic signal is red. It clearly marks the exact location where vehicles or pedestrians must halt, ensuring orderly and safe stopping before an intersection, crossing, or roadwork area.

This sign is especially important for maintaining traffic safety and flow. By telling drivers where to wait, it prevents vehicles from blocking intersections, pedestrian crossings, or work zones, reducing the risk of accidents and congestion. It also helps traffic signals operate effectively by keeping stop lines clear.

Additionally, the sign improves compliance with traffic regulations by providing clear, unambiguous instructions. Drivers are less likely to stop too far forward or encroach on pedestrian zones, which can cause confusion or hazards. This contributes to safer, more predictable traffic behaviour.

Lastly, the "When Red Light Shows Wait Here" sign supports the efficient management of temporary or permanent traffic controls. It is commonly used in areas with temporary traffic lights during roadworks, narrow bridges, or other situations requiring controlled vehicle movement. Clear stopping points help maintain smooth and safe traffic flow under such conditions.

Materials Explained

Any product outside of our standard choice of material/size range starts with a 5. This may include items such as rolls of tape, sign frames, floor graphics or banners. Below you can find a more detailed description of the miscellaneous material options available for this sign design.

Class RA1: Manufactured from 3mm aluminium composite with an engineering grade retroreflective sheeting to ensure visibility during day and night. This reflective layer helps headlights bounce light back to drivers, making the sign readable in low-light conditions and offers approximately a 7 years lifespan. Aluminium composite is a lightweight, durable material which holds no scrappage value - reducing the potential for theft. It is weather and rust resistant - overall, RA1 signs are designed to be durable, weatherproof, and highly visible to ensure the safety of road users around temporary worksites.
