Crossing guards, traffic control personnel, and event staff need a sign that is visible, durable, and easy to hold and operate for extended periods. This hand-held stop sign delivers all of that in a purpose-built format designed for active field use. School crossing guards use these at crosswalks and drop-off zones where they need to stop vehicle traffic while pedestrians cross. Traffic control crews use them at construction sites, lane closures, and temporary road work zones. Event coordinators use them at parking lot entries, race courses, and outdoor venues where vehicle and foot traffic need to be managed in real time. Security personnel use them at facility entrances and gated access points where a visible stop signal is part of the access control process. Available in 18x18 and 24x24 inch octagon sizes, with long pole and short pole options in each. The short pole is easier to carry and maneuver in tight spaces, and works well for crossing guards who are stationary or moving short distances. The long pole provides a higher visual profile that is more visible to drivers at greater distances, making it the preferred choice for open road traffic control. Reflective versions add nighttime and low-light visibility for dawn, dusk, and evening operations. All versions feature double-sided printing so the sign reads correctly from both directions. The aluminum sign panel has round edges for safe handling. Sigo Signs has been trusted by property owners, businesses, and facilities across the country for over ten years. Every sign is manufactured in New Jersey, USA.
