We began with traffic signals over forty years ago and today signals and lights are still at the centre of our product line.  We built upon our traffic signal line to become the number one manufacturer of traffic products in Canada and a top-tier leader in North America’s Premier traffic industry.  We continue to expand our signal offerings while maintaining the exacting standards we have held ourselves to from the start.

Forged amongst the backdrop of the notoriously harsh Canadian climate, our Traffic signals are notoriously tough and resilient. They have a reputation as harsh weather- ready: designed to with stand some of the toughest conditions and keep going season after season, year after year. The proof can be seen across countless intersections in North America where our products have been installed.

Are you switching your traffic signal heads from outdated aluminum to modern polycarbonate and steel alternatives?


UV stable, lightweight, impact resistant and flame retardant polycarbonate is our standard for a reason. They are so tough even the paint won't peel.  Our signals are the best polycarbonate traffic signals on the market.

Example: Polycarbonate Traffic Signal

In addition to a housing of ultra strong polycarbonate, each section of the signal is weather sealed. We use a bottom drip shield to prevent water infiltration, and neoprene gaskets on both door and lens completely seal the interior of the traffic signal head. We even prevent moisture and dirt from entering by using a dual latch and hinged design. Like all of our traffic products, these are built to last.
