According to WHO one of the main contributor to increased Road Safety is Road infrastructure. One part of the Road infrastructure is of course Road Traffic Signs, which is very important not neglect during the process of building a road. Here are some points why:

2. Durability
The reflective sheeting on a Traffic sign needs to be durable for a minimum of 7 years, or a minimum of 10 years depending on where the sign is to be installed. For the other items; Pole, plate and fittings the main issue for a durable sign is the galvanization or the aluminum, however typically these products if bought from a reliable supplier will last up to 20 years.
