R7-8-MA Questions
What does the Massachusetts sign mean by special plate required?
It states that a vehicle must display the special plate or placard issued by the state to use the stall, which is the Massachusetts wording for the permit requirement.
Where is the Massachusetts accessible sign mounted?
One sign per space, centered at the head of the stall, with the bottom edge at least 60 inches above the ground.
R7-8-MA Reflective Sheeting Options
Because the R7-8-MA backs a legal parking restriction that has to stay legible for years of enforcement, the T-11500 OmniCube - up to 60 percent brighter with a 12-year outdoor durability rating - is the safer choice when night visibility matters most, while the T-6500 High Intensity Prismatic delivers proven 10-year durability.
- Most Common Reflective Finish
- Very Reflective At Night
- Required for Most Highway Signs
- 10 Year Outdoor Durability
- Brightest and Most Visible
- Most Reflective At Night
- Up to 60 percent brighter than HIP
- 12 Year Outdoor Durability
The R7-8-MA puts a white legend on a majority blue background, and blue has lower retroreflectivity than white as defined by ASTM D4956. This sign therefore starts with less light return than a white-background sign of the same size. That makes the T-11500 OmniCube the more important upgrade here, not the less — it is what gets a blue sign readable from across a dark parking lot rather than only from a car length away.
