G1 Information Sign – Pedestrian Crossing, 65x65 cm, Class II

G1 Information Sign – Pedestrian Crossing, 65x65 cm, Class II

The blue square with the pedestrian on the crossing, 65 cm wide with class II prismatic sheeting. It goes right at the crossing, where it has to stand out at night too, among car headlights and street lights.

Why class II

The difference from class I shows at night: class II (RA2) prismatic sheeting returns three to four times more light, and the gap grows when the sign is mounted at the side, far from the centre of the road. On lit streets with shop windows and advertising, SR 1848-2 requires prismatic class 2 or 3 sheeting. The standard guarantees a 10-year service life for class II sheeting, three years more than for class I.

Where it goes, under SR 1848-1:2024

It goes immediately before the pedestrian crossing, level with the transverse stop line marked before the crossing stripes. It can be repeated on the left side of the road and/or on a gantry above the road, and a flashing amber lamp can be mounted above the sign.

Mounting and size

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 bottom edge of the sign goes 1.50–2.50 m above the road or kerb, and the edge nearest the road 0.50–2.0 m from the road platform.

The post is ordered separately. For a fixed installation in a concrete foundation: the galvanised Ø48 mm post, 300 cm. For temporary use, with no foundation: the Ø48 mm tripod post, 120 cm. On concrete or paving, where you cannot dig: the Ø60 mm flange post, 300 cm, bolted down; for it, ask for the Ø60 mm clamps when you order.

SR 1848-2 sets a single size for this sign, with a 65 cm side; the class I sheeting version, the same size, is the G1.
