R7-201RP Purpose and Use
The red Tow Away Symbol placard delivers the same towing warning in high-urgency red for zones where removal is routine.
Use the red version under fire lane and accessible parking signs where you want the towing warning to carry maximum urgency.
R7-201RP Questions
When should I use the red tow away symbol instead of the black one?
Under fire lane and accessible parking signs, where you want the removal warning to carry maximum urgency and match the red in the sign above.
Does the red version have different legal weight?
No. The color affects how quickly a driver registers the warning, not the enforceability, which comes from your towing authority and local ordinance.
R7-201RP Reflective Sheeting Options
Because the R7-201RP 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 R7-201RP puts a red 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.

R7-201RP Mounting Hole Pattern and Spacing
The R7-201RP 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
