Overview
Description
The W3-5a in orange warns drivers of an upcoming speed zone with a reduced limit through a temporary traffic control zone. Black "20 MPH SPEED ZONE AHEAD" legend on a fluorescent orange retroreflective background. Used in advance of a work zone speed reduction per MUTCD Part 6 where a text legend is preferred over the speed limit pictograph of the W3-5.
This listing is for the 20 MPH version. Other speed values are available as separate listings, and a blank version is available where the speed is specified at order time. Three sizes are available. The 30" x 30" is for single-lane roads. The 36" x 36" is standard for conventional roads. The 48" x 48" is for expressways, freeways, and enhanced conspicuity. Manufactured on .080" rustproof aluminum with rounded corners and pre-punched mounting holes. Sign post, mounting hardware, and brackets are sold separately. 48" signs ship truck freight.
