Forest Road Junction Advance Sign, 75x50 cm, Class I

Forest Road Junction Advance Sign, 75x50 cm, Class I

The advance direction sign for major junctions announces a forest road junction in good time: a 75 x 50 cm blue panel with a white border, with the roads' arrows drawn in white and their names written beside them.

Where it goes

Under normative ID-001-15, it stands on the right-hand side of the forest road, 50 m before major junctions: where a category I road meets a category II road, that is, at order-2 branches.

Size and text

The arrows are drawn to match the real junction: the angles between them follow the roads, and the line thickness shows how important each road is; where the roads are of the same category, the lines are equally thick. In the normative's example, the main road has a 50 mm line with an 80 mm head and the branch a 35 mm line. The letters show importance too: 100 mm for the main road, 60 mm for the branch. The pictures show the normative's example, Sturu and V. Seacă; you send the names and a sketch of the junction 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.

Technical data

• 75 x 50 cm panel: blue rectangle with a white border, white arrows and the roads' names in white;
• 1 mm galvanised steel sheet, with rounded corners and pressed edges, no sharp edges;
• electrostatically painted with UV-resistant paint;
• class I retroreflective sheeting (RA1), resistant to UV and weathering, with a 7-year service life;
• fixings included: 2 clamps for Ø48 mm posts and 4 bolts with nuts;
• CE marked; sheet, sheeting and construction to SR EN 12899-1:2007 and SR 1848-2:2011.

Mounting

It is sign no. 2 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.
