RADROAD‑APEX

Internally illuminated legends. Designed to revert to a standard retroreflective sign if power fails. Built for DOT overhead and roadside.

Internally illuminated legends. Proven superior.

A controlled Texas A&M Transportation Institute study tested nine sign treatments head-to-head. Signs with internally illuminated legends — the same core technology behind RADROAD-APEX — posted the largest legibility gains and were the most favored by participants.

+100% Legibility distance vs. standard signs — illuminated legend alone
9 Sign treatments tested head-to-head in a closed-course nighttime trial
≥ 500 ft APEX I legend legibility target, day and night
#1 Illuminated-legend signs were the most favored treatment among study participants
