Public Traffic Prohibited Sign, 70x30 cm, Class I

Public Traffic Prohibited Sign, 70x30 cm, Class I

The “Public traffic prohibited” sign shows that a forest road is closed to public traffic: a 70 x 30 cm red panel with a white border and the white words CIRCULAȚIA PUBLICĂ INTERZISĂ on two lines.

Where it goes

Under normative ID-001-15, it goes with the forest road name sign on every road closed to public traffic, on the same post, below it. It is not used on forest roads designated for access to neighbouring villages.

Size and text

The letters are 60 mm high, on two lines, and the text is fixed, not made to order. In the grouping of the normative's Annex VIII, this panel is the lowest on the post, with its bottom edge 1.20 m above the ground.

When class I is used

Class I (RA1) sheeting returns 70 cd/(lx·m²) for white to the driver and has a 7-year service life, enough on roads where headlights are the only light, such as forest roads. In areas with street lighting, shop windows, advertising and dense urban traffic, however, SR 1848-2 requires prismatic class 2 or 3 sheeting.

Mounting

It is sign no. 4 of Annex VII of the forest road maintenance and repair normative ID-001-15, approved by Order 482/2015. Fixings for the post are included: 1 clamp for Ø48 mm posts and 2 bolts with nuts; clamps for Ø60 mm posts are available on request.

The post is ordered separately. For a fixed installation in a concrete foundation: the galvanised Ø48 mm post, 300 cm. The normative asks for the sign to be clearly visible from 1.50–1.70 m and, when several signs share a post, for the lowest to be at least 1.20 m above the ground.
