Traffic Control Paddle Sign

The Cortina Companies 03-852 is a hand-held paddle sign designed for traffic control personnel. It displays Stop on one side and Slow on the other for clear directional signalling. The sign meets MUTCD requirements for use in work zones and roadside operations.

Reflective Engineering Grade Sheeting

The sign face uses engineering-grade reflective sheeting in red/white and orange/black colour combinations. No batteries or lights are included, so visibility relies on ambient or vehicle light striking the reflective surface. The legend height is 6 in for legibility at distance.

ABS Plastic Construction With 9 In Handle

The sign blade and handle are made from ABS plastic for durability and light weight. Overall height reaches 27 in with an 18 in square blade and a 9 in hand-held grip. The two-sided legend allows quick reversal between Stop and Slow messages during flagging duties.

Questions about this item

How is the paddle sign assembled and what step is often missed?

Slide the 9 in plastic handle into the back of the 18 in sign until it locks; the step often missed is confirming the latch clicks fully so the sign will not detach in use.

What part will need replacement first and when?

The reflective sheeting on the red and white faces degrades with UV exposure; plan to replace the paddle when night visibility drops below MUTCD minimums, typically after several seasons.

What physical limit appears first during prolonged hand-held use?

Wind pressure on the 18 by 18 in surface creates torque on the 9 in handle, so operator fatigue in the wrist and forearm becomes the limiting factor before the plastic structure yields.
