T-Type Structures for Overhead Guide Signs
Overhead sign structures place large guide and information signs directly above the traffic lanes, so drivers can read them from a distance and choose the right lane in time. This category includes a T-type overhead sign structure and the drawing set for the same structure.
Structure Types Explained
- T-type: a single column with arms on both sides that carries signs over the road, often used on divided highways with a median.
- L-type: a single-column cantilever with one arm that extends the sign from the roadside over the lanes.
- U-type (gantry): spans the road between columns on both sides and can carry several signs on wide roads.
Typical Applications
Direction and distance signs on intercity roads, lane guidance signs on junction approaches and information signs for speed cameras and average speed enforcement systems are all mounted on overhead structures. By letting drivers pick their lane early, overhead signs help traffic flow more smoothly on busy multi-lane roads.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need for a quote? Sign size and quantity, road width, required clearance above the road and ground conditions at the site.
Can I buy the drawing set on its own? Yes. The drawing set is offered as a separate product if your own team will fabricate the structure.
