One Way Signs
One Way Traffic Signs are available in Left or Right versions. One Way signs are used to inform motorists that traffic on a street is traveling in one direction only. Our One Way street signs are manufactured on rust-proof heavy grade .080" aluminum and are retro-reflective at night. Holes are pre-punched for ease of mounting onto a sign post.
'One Way' signs as defined by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which sets standards for traffic signs in the United States, are directional control signs that indicate the direction in which traffic is legally allowed to move on a specific roadway or roadway segment. Typically, these signs are rectangular with a black arrow on a white background, pointing in the direction of permitted traffic flow. The word 'ONE WAY' is usually printed below the arrow. These signs are used to enhance traffic flow by limiting traffic direction to a single way, usually on roads where two-way traffic could be hazardous or overly congestive. They are also used in situations where it's beneficial to dedicate each lane to a specific direction of travel, such as in busy downtown areas or on certain high-traffic highway ramps. They are typically placed on the right-hand side of the road, facing drivers immediately before the start of the one-way section. In one-way streets, additional 'One Way' signs may also be mounted on the left-hand side or overhead for additional visibility. It is also common to see them at intersections, where they warn drivers not to enter a street in the wrong direction.

Example Use:
At the intersection adjacent to Central Park, city planners have installed a One Way Sign to streamline traffic and enhance pedestrian safety. Given the high footfall at the park, especially during weekends and holidays, this measure ensures that vehicles approach the intersection from only one direction, minimizing the potential for head-on collisions. Furthermore, this setup simplifies crossing for pedestrians, as they only need to anticipate vehicles from a single direction, making their passage more predictable and safer. The sign also eases congestion, allowing a smoother flow of traffic and reducing the chance of gridlocks near the park's entrance.
