🔧 Technical Review
Designed for temporary roadside use, this folding warning sign offers practical, compliant safety for wildlife migration zones. It is used seasonally in areas where amphibians, especially toads, cross public roads en masse — often at dawn, dusk, or in wet conditions.
The RA2 reflective face provides superior visibility even in poor light, while the folding frame makes transport and setup easy. The sign is lightweight yet weatherproof and built for repeated use year after year.
