The Steel Plate Ahead Sign is a temporary traffic sign used to warn drivers and other road users about the presence of a steel plate on the road. Its primary purpose is to enhance safety by alerting motorists to slow down, exercise caution, and be prepared for potential changes in the road surface.
Our roll-up signs are made of flexible material with a fiberglass frame and heavy duty plastic corner pockets. NCHRP-350 approved when used with one of our sign stands.

How to Measure Roll-up Signs:
Why would a steel plate be used on the roadway?
Utility work: Steel plates can be placed over trenches or excavations to temporarily cover them during utility work, allowing traffic to flow safely above without the need for complete road closures.
Road repairs: Steel plates can be used as a temporary solution to cover damaged road surfaces, potholes, or uneven areas while awaiting more permanent repairs.
Construction: During construction projects, steel plates can be used to maintain traffic flow and minimize disruption when work is being done on the road or adjacent areas.
Bridge maintenance: Steel plates may be placed on bridges to facilitate inspections, repairs, or maintenance work without causing significant disruptions to traffic.
