According to data from the National Safety Council, about 50 percent of traffic deaths happen at night despite just 25 percent of all driving occurring then. A major reason for this is the inability to see signs in low-light conditions clearly. Internally illuminated street name signs are an excellent way to help improve roadway safety and street name visibility while enhancing the road’s appearance. These illuminated signs improve sign visibility and legibility at near and far distances and in all lighting conditions. Consequently, this helps give drivers more time to plan their actions and pay more attention to driving safely rather than navigating and searching for street names.

Introducing Signal-Tech’s Internally Illuminated Street Name Signs (SNS) Series
The SNS series from Signal-Tech is our line of internally illuminated street name signs that feature a translucent, prismatic retroreflective printed face that comes standard in green, blue, or brown. The sign’s graphics and lettering (white highway gothic comes standard) are printed on a second, UV-resistant, 0.125-inch acrylic face panel that displays the sign’s single- or double-faced retroreflective messages. These signs are perimeter-lit with cool white LED modules at a minimum of 105 nits, making them readable in all light conditions. They are controlled directly by the intersection’s traffic control box, but they can be equipped with an optional, built-in photocell if a traffic control box isn’t available.
Signal-Tech's SNS are constructed from a lightweight, extruded aluminum alloy frame painted with low-gloss black. These cabinets are available in two heights (18- or 24-inches — with 16- or 22-inch openings for vinyl faces) and three lengths (72-, 96-, or 120-inches — with 70-, 94-, or 118-inch openings for vinyl faces) and are all 5.25 inches deep. The cabinet uses toolless latches on the sign’s top and external wiring connection points for easy installation and maintenance. Double-sided SNS are mounted to mast arms using SkyBracket’s Free Swinging Sign Mount Assembly with either a cable clamp or band & buckle clamp. Single-sided SNS will utilize the SkyBracket Single-Faced Mount Assembly with a band & buckle clamp. Custom mounting options can be explored for unique use cases and difficult mounting situations.
Signal-Tech's SNS are available in 100-277VAC and use 36W, 48W, or 60W depending on the sign’s length. Rest assured, the SNS product line from Signal-Tech uses only high-quality, IP-66+ rated electrical components to ensure the sign’s performance and durability.

Why Choose the Signal-Tech SNS Series?
Signal-Tech’s SNS is the perfect solution for municipalities looking to improve several aspects of their streets through one initiative. First, these signs are easily visible day and night, making it easier for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists to identify streets and navigate the area. Enhanced visibility contributes to improved street safety, especially during low-light conditions. Illuminated street name signs reduce the likelihood of accidents, as drivers can better anticipate turns and intersections. Illuminated street name signs also help drivers and pedestrians navigate unfamiliar areas more easily, especially in areas with complex street layouts. Finally, SNS from Signal-Tech can enhance the overall aesthetics of a city or neighborhood as they contribute to a well-lit and welcoming atmosphere. This makes the city more inviting to visitors and more “at home” to its residents.
