Pavement Ends Sign (W8-3)
The PAVEMENT ENDS (W8-3) word message sign is an essential traffic control device used to inform drivers of a significant change in road surface conditions. When a paved road transitions to either a gravel treated surface or an earth road surface, this sign serves as a critical warning. It is typically accompanied by an Advisory Speed (W13-1P) plaque when the alteration in roadway conditions necessitates a reduction in driving speed. This sign is instantly recognizable by its diamond shape, featuring a bold black legend and border set against a vibrant yellow background. Its retroreflective properties ensure visibility both during the day and at night, enhancing road safety. Constructed from durable, weather-resistant traffic grade aluminum, this sign is engineered to withstand various environmental conditions. It comes pre-punched with radiused corners and 3/8" mounting holes, facilitating easy installation. Specifications: MUTCD Code: W8-3 Description: Pavement Ends Shape: Diamon
