Caution Signs are Everywhere

There are many types of caution signs that depend on what type of hazard a situation may pose. Caution signs can be seen on roads, in schools, in the workplace, businesses like shops or stores, and even in private properties.

Typically, caution signs are made of rust-proof aluminum for long life. Many of these signs are made with highly reflective surfaces to maximize visibility at night. Popular dimensions for these signs are 18"w x 12"h, 18"w x 24"h or 24"w x 24"h for those that are 4 sided and 16"w x 14"h for triangular ones.
