Built to meet Wisconsin requirements.
Wisconsin Traffic Sign Requirements
Wisconsin maintains its own state traffic-sign manual, the Wisconsin MUTCD (WMUTCD), kept in substantial conformance with the federal MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices). Signs installed on public roads in Wisconsin must match that standard for design, color, shape, and placement, enforced through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
MUTCD compliance
The MUTCD defines every standard regulatory (R), warning (W), and guide (G) sign — its exact size, legend, and colors. Our Wisconsin traffic signs are produced to those specifications so they are compliant out of the box, whether you need stop, yield, speed limit, or warning signs.
Reflectivity
Signs that face traffic must meet the FHWA minimum retroreflectivity levels in the MUTCD, and agencies are required to maintain them. We offer engineer-grade and high-intensity prismatic reflective sheeting to meet Wisconsin road and work-zone requirements.
