R7-5-2 Questions
Why require parallel parking with a sign?
On a narrow drive or single lane aisle, angled or nose in parking leaves vehicles projecting into the travel path. The R7-5-2 dictates the orientation.
Where is a parallel parking only sign most needed?
Alleys, narrow residential streets, and lot aisles where a vehicle parked at an angle would block through traffic or emergency access.
R7-5-2 Reflective Sheeting Options
Because the R7-5-2 is read from a short distance under direct headlights in private lots, 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.

- 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 R7-5-2 puts a green legend on a white reflective background, and white returns more light than any other color under ASTM D4956, so nearly the entire face lights up under headlights. That is why stepping up to the T-11500 OmniCube produces such a visible change on this sign: you are brightening the color that already dominates the sign face.
