OPTsigns Cones & Delineators for Highway Safety in the USA
OPTsigns collaborated with a prominent road safety management company in the USA, specializing in highway infrastructure and traffic control. Their primary focus is to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow on high-speed highways. The client was experiencing recurring issues related to traffic accidents and congestion caused by ineffective lane delineation and poor visibility of road boundaries. With a goal to enhance highway safety, they turned to OPTsigns for a reliable, durable solution.
Challenge Encountered
The client faced multiple challenges on high-speed highways, particularly in high-traffic areas where accurate lane delineation was critical for preventing accidents and managing congestion. Traditional road markers and signs often failed to withstand harsh weather conditions, leading to wear and tear. Additionally, there were concerns about the visibility of lane boundaries during night-time operations or in adverse weather, such as fog or rain. The client needed a solution that could improve the visibility and durability of road boundaries while minimizing maintenance efforts and cost.
Our Solution
OPTsigns’ Cones & Delineators were identified as the ideal solution to address the client’s concerns. These products are designed with high-visibility materials and are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making them suitable for use on highways where long-lasting durability is paramount. Additionally, our delineators were designed for easy installation and repositioning, providing the flexibility needed in dynamic traffic management situations.
To further enhance visibility and safety, OPTsigns integrated Safety Signage and Warning Lights into the solution. The safety signage was strategically placed along the highway to highlight upcoming hazards and direct traffic flow more effectively. The warning lights added an extra layer of visibility during night-time operations, fog, or rain, ensuring drivers could clearly see lane boundaries and obstacles.
We worked closely with the client to understand their specific needs, conducting a thorough assessment of the highways where our products would be installed. Based on this, we provided a customized solution, including the correct placement of our cones, delineators, safety signage, and warning lights. The products were installed in key areas with high traffic volumes, including exit ramps, construction zones, and curves.
To ensure long-term effectiveness, we provided the client with a training session on how to best maintain and reposition the products as needed. We also offered continuous customer support to address any concerns that might arise after installation.

The use of OPTsigns’ Cones & Delineators significantly improved the visibility of lane markings, leading to a reduction in traffic accidents and increased driver compliance with traffic regulations. They reported fewer instances of roadwork-related traffic disruptions and improved safety during night-time driving, thanks to the added visibility from the warning lights.
Moreover, the client appreciated the durability of the OPTsigns products.
