FAQs
Is it legal to use a flashing stop sign?
Yes—MUTCD allows LED lighting on regulatory signs, including STOP signs, when properly designed and compliant
What is the LED flash rate? Standard operation is 50–60 flashes per minute, in line with MUTCD safety guidelines. Higher rates (up to 120/min) may be specified for certain applications.
Do the LEDs work in all weather conditions?
Yes—the LEDs enhance visibility in fog, rain, snow, and bright conditions alike, and operate continuously day and night.
Can I power the sign with solar?
Yes—solar-powered and AC options are available, complete with dimming features for efficiency
Is the sign hard to install?
Not at all! It ships fully assembled and is compatible with most standard sign posts. No disassembly required for installation.
