Yes - Portable Sign Stands do add safety to parking lots
But they also add safety to a variety of applications other than parking lots. Portable Sign Stands are perfect for any area where car and foot traffic intermingle. They organize the flow of traffic and instruct vehicle and foot traffic how to behave -with the right sign, of course!
When traffic patterns are compromised during stop light failures or power outages, even low speed roads can become very dangerous. Another great use for portable sign stands is for temporary traffic control.
