A compact starting kit for mounting signs, checking placement, and making a roadside work area easier to see.
For a straightforward field setup, start with visibility devices, a way to measure placement, tools that keep the post and sign aligned, suitable mounting hardware, and personal protective equipment. The exact equipment and traffic-control plan must match the road, task, agency requirements, and qualified-person review.
Use devices appropriate to the approved traffic-control plan. These compact options are best treated as supporting equipment, not a substitute for engineered traffic control.
Folds down for vehicle storage and includes reflective collars. Useful when portability matters more than the stability of a full-weight cone.
Compact magnetic warning lights with multiple flash modes. They can supplement visibility where permitted, but they do not replace required channelizing devices.
Good placement starts with consistent measurements and a post that is actually plumb.
A full-size mechanical wheel for checking longer roadside distances, spacing, and offsets without dragging a tape across the work area.
The magnetic edge can hold to a steel post while the installer checks plumb. The small size fits easily in a field bag or truck console.
Match tools and hardware to the post system, sign substrate, breakaway requirements, and installation detail specified for the location.
A steel driver designed for U-channel and sign posts. Its weight can help with stubborn ground, but crews should plan for safe handling and appropriate PPE.
A small replacement-hardware set for common economy and heavy-duty post configurations. Verify bolt dimensions against the actual post and sign holes.
PPE selection depends on the hazards identified for the job. These are practical starting points, not a complete safety program.
