Direction indicators

Name of streets, cultural and touristic places

New decree no. 30/2001coll. fundamentally influenced the next  development of these products. On the one hand, most of the administrative obstacles to their expansion were removed, on the other hand, it unified their appeareance and execution. This is due to the fact that most of direction indicators that we used to refer to as an urban orientation system must now be considered a traffic sign. Specifically, we wish to mention traffic signs IS 22a – f street name marking and also IS 23 and IS 24 a – c cultural or tourist destination. The product is subject to Act No. 22/1977 Coll.,on technical requirements for products and for amendement and addition of certain laws and § 5 of Government regulation No. 178/1997 which establishes technical requirements for construction  products and supplemented by Government Regulation No 81/1999.  

The direction indicator must, among other things, comply with several important principles applicable to traffic signs:

• its design must be approved. The structure must meet the demanding mechanical tests required for traffic signs
• reflective foil of an approved type must be used on the active area
• Active area appearance must meet the requirements of VL 6.1 – Vertical traffic sign
• The dimension of the  direction sign, the colors of the foil, the height and the type of the font are precisely determined by this regulation and cannot be changed
• The size of the direction sign is 1000 mm x 200 mm, the font height is 100 mm

We produce stop posts in several versions. Type ZO S85 has a more robust construction and is intended primarily for urban transport. The type S 165-V with an exchangeable lines system is also intended for urban transport. All types include a waterproof cabinet for the timetable.
