The "Slippery Road" warning road sign, identified with figure 22, is essential to warn drivers of a stretch of road where the surface can become dangerously slippery. Whether it's rain, ice, mud or gravel, its presence ensures greater awareness and calls for caution, significantly reducing the risk of accidents due to loss of vehicle grip. It is a must-have for permanent signage, especially useful in areas with variable weather conditions or uneven road surfaces.
Safety Starts with the Right Sign: Slippery Road
Correct signalling of road hazards is a pillar of safety. The "Slippery Road" sign is specifically designed to warn of road surface conditions that may impair grip, urging motorists to drive more carefully. Installed in strategic points, such as blind curves, bridge crossings or mountain sections, it becomes a valuable ally to prevent skidding and collisions, protecting the lives of drivers and passengers.
Technical Characteristics and Compliance
Made of durable sheet metal, this sign is an equilateral triangle with a side of 90 cm, the standard size for country roads. Its surface is equipped with Class 1 (RA1) retroreflective film, ensuring optimal visibility even in low light conditions or at night, thanks to the effect of the headlights. The white background, the red border and the black pictogram representing a vehicle skidding comply with current legislation (Presidential Decree 495/1992, art. 93), ensuring its universal recognition. The robustness of the material makes it suitable for installation in different road contexts, keeping its functionality intact over time.
Essential Applications and Installation
This sign is used in a wide range of situations, from dangerous curves with worn asphalt to road sections subject to frequent ice or frost formation, to unpaved roads or roads with moving gravel. Mounting is simple and safe, thanks to the rear attachments designed for stable attachment to galvanized poles or suitable vertical supports. To maximize its effectiveness, the sign must be placed well in advance of the dangerous section, and can be supplemented with additional panels specifying the nature or length of the hazard, such as "in case of rain" or "for 200 m". ePanza.com also offers fastening accessories for a complete and compliant installation.
