Tram Crossing Sign: Road Safety with ePanza.com

The "Tramway Crossing" road sign, identified by Figure 12 of the Highway Code, is a crucial element for safety in urban and suburban areas where tram tracks intersect the roadway without traffic light regulation. Designed to warn road users in a timely manner, this warning sign requires maximum attention and speed reduction, preventing conflict situations between vehicles and tramways. Made of sturdy boxed iron sheet with a thickness of 10/10 mm and reinforced edge, this sign guarantees durability and resistance to atmospheric agents. The triangular shape, with vertex facing upwards, is the international standard for warning signs, easily recognizable even from a distance. The Class 1 (RA1) reflective surface ensures optimal visibility in normal light conditions and in the presence of street lighting, making it ideal for installation in urban contexts or on secondary country roads. This sign fully complies with the regulations of the Italian Highway Code (Legislative Decree 285/1992) and the technical specifications of Figure 12 of the Annex to the Implementing Regulation (Art. 39), as well as the UNI EN 12899-1 standards for permanent vertical signs, ensuring its compliance and reliability.

Main Features of the Tramway Crossing Road Sign

The "Tram Crossing" warning sign offered on ePanza.com is a robust and compliant solution for road signs. With a side of 90 cm, it is the medium format, particularly suitable for ensuring excellent visibility without being excessively bulky. Its 10/10 mm boxed iron sheet construction offers superior resistance to flat signals, maintaining shape and integrity even under stressful conditions. The bent edge not only reinforces the structure but also prevents sharp edges from forming, increasing safety for operators during installation.

Maximum Visibility with Class 1 Reflectivity

Class 1 (RA1) reflective film is the standard choice for many road applications, particularly where artificial lighting is present or traffic does not require extreme long-distance visibility. This class of reflectivity ensures that the black tram symbol on a white background, framed by the distinctive red border, is clearly visible both day and night, effectively alerting drivers to the presence of a potential hazard. The graphics of the symbol are clear and immediate, representing two tracks with the potential presence of a tram, as predicted in Figure 12.
