Detour With Arrow Sign

Description

A closure without a clear detour is just confusion with barricades. The Detour With Arrow sign tells drivers two things at once: the usual route is closed, and this is the way around. The bold directional arrow does the work a flagger would otherwise have to — carrying traffic through the turn and around your work zone in the MUTCD-style format used on NYC streets, where DOT-facing setups are expected to be self-explanatory at a glance.

We print each sign at our NYC facility on rigid aluminum at the 36″ × 48″ work-zone size, in .040″ or .063″ gauge depending on how hard the sign will live. UV- and weather-resistant inks keep the arrow and legend high-contrast through sun, rain, and exhaust film — which matters for a message drivers need to process in about a second.

Tell us your detour direction when you order and the sign arrives printed accordingly, ready to mount to barricades, posts, or fencing. Delivery across the five boroughs and Long Island runs 2–3 business days, with 24-hour rush available on most orders. Multiple turns on one detour route? Contractor accounts and volume pricing make the full set economical, and re-orders take a single call.

Detour signs work best as part of a sequence: give drivers advance notice with a Road Closed 150 FT sign, then mark the closure itself with a Road Closure sign at the barricade line.

Can I choose which way the arrow points?

Yes — specify left, right, or your route configuration when you order and we print each sign to match.

How many detour signs does a closure usually need?

Plan on one at each turn of the detour route so drivers are never guessing. Volume pricing applies when you order the full set.
