Caution Constructon Ahead Sign

Description

Legibility at speed is the entire job of an advance warning sign. The Caution Construction Ahead sign gives NYC drivers that warning in the format they process fastest — heavy black lettering on high-visibility work-zone orange, in the MUTCD style used on New York City streets. Posted upstream of your site, it prompts drivers to slow down and expect crews, equipment, and lane shifts before any of it comes into view.

Both stock sizes are printed at our NYC facility on rigid aluminum: 24″ × 36″ where mounting space is tight, and 36″ × 48″ for full work-zone visibility on wider approaches. Pick .040″ gauge for standard service or .063″ for heavy-duty installs that will be moved, remounted, and leaned on for the length of the project. UV- and weather-resistant print keeps the black-on-orange contrast strong through every season the job runs.

Ordering is simple — select size and gauge, and the sign ships mount-ready for barricades, posts, or fencing. Standard delivery across the five boroughs and Long Island is 2–3 business days, and 24-hour rush is available on most signs when the schedule moves up. Contractor accounts and volume pricing are there for firms signing multiple approaches or running repeat projects across the city.

Many crews post this sign first in the sequence, followed by a Work Area Ahead sign closer in and a Lane Closed With Arrow sign at the taper.

FAQ

Which size should I order for a city street?

36″ × 48″ is the standard work-zone size for street approaches; 24″ × 36″ works where mounting space is limited, such as narrow sidewalks or short fence runs.

Does this sign replace a Work Area Ahead sign?

They complement each other — Caution Construction Ahead is typically posted further upstream, with Work Area Ahead closer to the active work. Many traffic plans use both.
