Use Low Gear Signs
SKU# W7-2P
The Use Low Gear Sign (MUTCD 7-2p) is important because it advises drivers, particularly those in heavy vehicles or towing trailers, to shift to a lower gear when approaching a steep downhill grade, which helps maintain better control and avoid excessive braking. By following the sign's guidance, drivers can reduce the risk of brake overheating, loss of vehicle control, and potential accidents, ensuring a safer driving experience.
Use Low Gear Sign Details:
- Sign is manufactured on durable rust-proof .080" aluminum
- Pre-punched 3/8" mounting holes in top and bottom for easy installation.
- Meets M.U.T.C.D. specifications for highway use.
