Fortrans Polycarbonate
Pedestrian Signal is a proven winner. Over the past ten years, our Pedestrian signals have
been installed in thousands of intersections across North America.
Polycarbonate signals are replacing aluminum signals because they
provide a complete, versatile and reliable product at a lessor cost than the aluminum
signals. The Polycarbonate signal is also much lighter to work with, and is easier to
install.
Our poly pedestrian signal line has been designed using a
"Building Block approach - individual signal housings can be quickly and easily
combined to meet customer specific signaling requirements.
Our poly pedestrian signals are very tough, impact resistant, flame
retardant, UV stabilized polycarbonate. The colour is uniform throughout the thickness of
the material, eliminating the fading and paint peeling associated with the aluminum
signals. Poly peds have been tested to withstand the most severe weather and wind
conditions. Stainless steel hardware is used throughout.
Each section has a bottom drip shield to prevent water infiltration.
Neoprene gaskets on both the door and lens, completely seal the interior of the ped
signal. Dual latches and hinges keep the doors secured in place to prevent moisture and
dirt from entering.
The Poly Pedestrian signals have top and bottom openings for a standard
1-½" pipe bracket, which is mounted using a one way vertical bracket.
The Poly Pedestrian signals can accommodate Hand-Man round or square
lenses, or Hand-Man combined LED. Lenses are Lunar white and Portland orange.
Fortran Poly Pedestrian assemblies exceed ITE (Institute of
Transportation Engineers) specifications and can be ordered to meet Department of
Transportation specifications
