As a leading manufacturer of traffic signs and symbols for over 50 years, Yoo Shing understands the critical role our products play in keeping roads safe and traffic flowing smoothly. Our high-quality signs and pavement markings are designed to catch drivers' attention, convey critical information clearly and quickly, and promote proper driving behavior. 

With the U.S. roadway system becoming more complex each year, the need for effective traffic control devices continues to grow. This blog post explores the benefits of traffic signs and symbols and why distributors should consider expanding their safety product offerings with our complete line of solutions.

The Importance of Traffic Signs and Symbols

Traffic signs and symbols serve a vital purpose: they communicate important rules, warnings and guidance to drivers in a universal visual language. Drivers don't need to speak the same language to understand the meaning behind a stop sign, yield sign, railroad crossing warning or lane merge indicator. This universal understanding helps traffic from diverse regions and backgrounds safely share the road.

Traffic signs and pavement markings help reduce crashes and injuries by:

Alerting drivers to potential hazards ahead, such as curves, intersections, school zones, bicyclists or pedestrians

Providing key navigational information such as speed limits, directional flow and road names 

Clearly indicating right-of-way through stop signs, yield signs and traffic signals

Encouraging safe driving behaviors like speed control, lane changes and turns

Organizing travel lanes and designating permitted uses (e.g. bus lane, bicycle lane)

In fact, studies by the U.S. Department of Transportation show that improving highway signage and markings can decrease crashes by 15% or more. Effective traffic signs and symbols are a simple, cost-effective method to reduce accidents and save lives.

The Yoo Shing Difference: Unparalleled Quality and Performance 

As a distributor, you can confidently sell Yoo Shing's traffic solutions knowing they are engineered to the highest standards and rigorously tested to perform in the harshest conditions. Key advantages include:

Reflective Sheeting Technology – Our signs feature high-intensity prismatic and diamond grade reflective sheeting that maximizes visibility up to 1 mile away when illuminated at night. Made with durable polymers and glass beads, our reflective material lasts over a decade.

Fade/UV Resistance – Yoo Shing signs and markings are produced with the most advanced UV inhibitors and colorfast inks. They are warrantied not to fade or deteriorate for up to 12 years, even in extremely hot climates or snowy regions where sunlight reflects intensely off the ground.

Durability – Constructed from heavy-gauge metals and high-pressure laminates, our signs can withstand severe weather, constant vibrations from traffic, and extremes in temperature. The markings applied to roads are also highly durable to traffic wear and winter plowing. 

Easy Installation – Our signs feature pre-drilled mounting holes for quick installation. The lightweight aluminum material is also easy to handle and can be mounted on any standard post or structure.

Customization – We offer extensive customization options across our product line, including size, color, graphics, materials and mounting. This allows you to meet each customer's unique requirements.

Made in USA – Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Dallas uses premium American-made aluminum, 3M reflective vinyls, and U.S. street sign inks. Buying our products supports local jobs and supply chains.
