Detour Ahead Signs
A Detour Ahead sign is a traffic control device that alerts drivers to an upcoming change in their planned route. It is typically placed well in advance of the affected area, giving motorists ample time to prepare for the deviation. This sign serves as an early warning that the road may be closed or obstructed due to construction or other disruptions.
The Detour Ahead sign can be customize to say the following: Detour 1 Mile, Detour 1/2 Mile, Detour 1500 Feet, Detour 1000 Feet, or Detour 500 Feet.
