School Zone Sign CAD Block
The School Zone Sign CAD Block, based on the MUTCD S1-1 standard, is a critical element in traffic control plans for areas near schools. This CAD block represents the iconic pentagon-shaped sign that alerts drivers to reduce their speed and proceed with caution due to nearby student crossings and heavy pedestrian activity. It plays an essential role in protecting children and minimizing risks around school premises.
The standard size for this sign is 30×30 inches, ensuring optimal visibility for approaching vehicles. By including this block in your roadway or site design, you support safer driving behavior and better compliance with traffic regulations during school hours.
MUTCD Specifications for School Zone Signs
According to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the S1-1 sign must be installed at designated school crossings or zones where children are expected to cross the roadway. This sign is part of the standardized system used nationwide to improve traffic safety near educational institutions. Moreover, using a CAD-based version ensures accurate scaling and positioning in your engineering plans.
