R7-201P Questions
What does the tow away symbol communicate?
It warns graphically that vehicles violating the sign above will be removed, which reads faster than a text warning at a lot entrance.
Is R7-201 a federal sign code?
No. R7-201 is a California state code rather than a federal MUTCD code, though the placard is built to MUTCD design standards.
R7-201P Reflective Sheeting Options
Because the R7-201P mounts below a main sign and should match the sheeting above it, 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 R7-201P puts a black 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.

R7-201P Mounting Hole Pattern and Spacing
The R7-201P is a horizontal placard, so its mounting holes are spaced to line up with the holes of the sign it mounts beneath, letting both share a single post without drilling
