Orange was officially standardized in 1971 by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) to ensure driver safety and reduce confusion on roadways.
Required signs typically include danger signs for immediate hazards, warning signs for potential hazards, caution signs for unsafe practices, and specific signs for PPE, site rules, and restricted access. You can find all necessary regulatory signs on our construction site signs page.
