Wrong Way Signs

Face it toward drivers at the lane entrance, before the turn where they might go the wrong way. A 24 x 18 in landscape sign reads from a car. Reflective aluminum comes in 18 x 12 in, 24 x 18 in and 12 x 18 in if the lane is used after dark.

Usually not. Traffic signs on public roads are set by the city or state, and some do not allow private signs in the public right of way. Use this sign on your own lot, and check local rules before you post near a road.

Red on white is the classic look for a do not enter message and is easy to pick out at speed. White on red uses the same two colours switched, so choose the one that matches your other lot signs.

A short instruction does the job, such as Do not enter or One way only. Keep it to a few words, since the driver is reading while moving. The printed WRONG WAY words state the problem, and the line gives the fix, so both parts appear at a glance.

Often yes. A driver going the wrong way may be on the far side of the lane, so one sign on one side can be missed. Put a matching sign on the opposite post if drivers enter from both ends. Check that the signs face the driver who needs them, and not the traffic already going the right way.
