The Flex-Safe® DETOUR sign gives crews a fast, clear way to redirect traffic when normal routes are unavailable.
The Flex-Safe® DETOUR sign gives crews a fast, clear way to redirect traffic when normal routes are unavailable. Whether you’re managing a road closure, utility repair, special event, or emergency response, this sign communicates one critical instruction instantly: follow the alternate route.
Printed on heavy-duty UV-resistant and fire-retardant vinyl, this 8″ x 40″ sign is built for repeated use in demanding environments. It resists fading from sunlight, holds up in rain and wind, and stays flexible even after frequent folding and transport. The non-reflective surface minimizes glare, making the message easier to read under headlights, flashers, or portable lighting.
This sign is available in two high-visibility colors—orange or yellow. Orange is ideal for construction zones and active roadway work, while yellow works well for municipal rerouting, planned events, and controlled access situations. Both colors deliver strong contrast and immediate recognition by drivers and pedestrians.
Deployment is fast and simple. The integrated hook-and-loop attachment system allows the sign to press directly onto Flex-Safe® Barricades—no tools, no hardware, and no wasted time. Crews can reposition signs quickly as traffic patterns change, keeping detours clear and effective throughout the day.
When the detour ends, the sign folds compactly and stores easily. It fits neatly into the external pocket of the optional Flex-Safe Carry/Storage Bag, helping teams stay organized and ready for the next assignment. Lightweight and portable, it’s ideal for public works departments, emergency responders, contractors, and event managers who need flexible traffic control solutions.
Proudly Made in America, the Flex-Safe® DETOUR sign reflects dependable craftsmanship and professional-grade materials trusted by safety teams across the country.
