United States diagonal arrow auxiliary sign

Description

Whenever two numbered routes junction, or a marked route makes a turn from one road onto another, signage is necessary to help a driver know how to follow the route that will lead them to their destination. In the United States, this is normally done with an arrow sign installed below the route marker. Having the arrow as a separate sign helps make manufacturing and inventory process more simple. A state department of transportation may have thousands of copies these arrow signs, each able to be matched up with hundreds of different route shields. Putting together a junction sign is as simple as making the markers, then installing standard arrow and cardinal direction plates to complete the message.

Complete your route-marker display with our diagonal arrow auxiliary sign, made to match the 1970 federal specifications for this type of roadway signage. Its precise dimensions and proportions give you the look and feel of the signs used on American roads, making it the perfect companion for route markers dated 1957 or newer. (Older signs would be paired with the arrow sign from the 1948 standard, which had slightly different dimensions.) Combine it with one of the route markers from our library, then add the appropriate cardinal-direction plates to create a finished display just like those you see on the road!

Made in the USA from heavy-duty 14-gauge steel, our diagonal arrow sign combines sturdy construction with a clean, non-reflective finish that works beautifully as home decor. Want to display it outdoors? No problem. It is designed to hold up for years in a wide range of climates. Pre-drilled mounting holes make installation quick and straightforward—just hang it up and enjoy. Choose from three classic colors:

• White, for U.S. routes and most state highways
• Blue, for Interstates
• Green, for business Interstates and California state routes

And select the size that matches your route marker:

• 11⅜ in. × 8⅛ in. (for route markers approximately 12 in. wide)
• 15¾ in. × 11¼ in. (for route markers approximately 16 in. wide)
• 21 in. × 15 in. (for route markers approximately 24 in. wide)
• 35 in. × 25 in. (for route markers approximately 36 in. wide)

We also offer left- and right-facing arrows. In some states, freeway entrances are marked with downward-pointing diagonal arrows. For this type of assembly, order the opposite direction as that needed—that is, if you need a down-and-right arrow, order an up-and-left arrow and rotate it so that it is pointing downward.

Need a different arrow style, or perhaps you need a different color scheme to match a route marker in a different color? Or are you looking for something else you can’t find on our site? Not to worry, we do custom orders! Just contact us today to get started!
