Forest Road Name Sign, 90x50 cm, Class I

Forest Road Name Sign, 90x50 cm, Class I

The forest road name sign goes at the entrance to the road and shows its name: a 90 x 50 cm blue panel with a 15 mm white border, DRUM FORESTIER (forest road) on the first line and the road's name on the second, both in white.

Where it goes

Under normative ID-001-15, it stands 15–30 m into the forest road, on the right-hand side, where the road joins a public road. It is used only on roads with no through exit. On roads closed to public traffic, the “Public traffic prohibited” sign goes below it on the same post, with the road number plate above.

Size and text

The text follows the Annex VII drawing: DRUM FORESTIER in 100 mm letters and the name in 120 mm letters. The name is written in full, without abbreviations and with diacritics, as the normative requires; the SR 1848-3 narrow letters are squeezed as much as needed for the name to fit at the normative's height. The pictures show the normative's example, “Valea Corbului”; you send the name of your road after ordering.

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. 1 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: 2 clamps for Ø48 mm posts and 4 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.
