Preformed Thermoplastic Left Turn Arrow Overview
Direct traffic safely with these white preformed thermoplastic left turn arrows. Each pack provides two FHWA standard arrows measuring 8' x 6'4", designed for clear left-turn guidance in parking lots and on low-speed roads.
These arrows are cut from Tuff-Mark preformed thermoplastic sheet, so they arrive ready to position and heat. Installation is fast, and you get a crisp, consistent symbol that stands up to weather, traffic, and routine maintenance.
Key Features and Benefits
- FHWA-compliant left turn arrow layout for professional traffic control.
- High-contrast white thermoplastic for strong visibility on asphalt and dark pavements.
- Offered in standard Tuff-Mark or Tuff-Grip skid-resistant versions to match your safety requirements.
- Optional glass bead treatment to improve retroreflectivity at night and during rain.
- Preformed construction saves time compared to templating and painting arrows by hand.
How to Use These Left Turn Arrows
- 1. Clean and dry the surface. Remove loose material, dust, oils, and any failed coatings.
- 2. Position each left turn arrow where the driver will clearly see it on approach.
- 3. Heat the arrow uniformly with a propane torch until the thermoplastic flows and bonds tightly to the pavement.
- 4. Ensure that all seams and edges are fully fused and that any glass beads are embedded in the molten material.
- 5. Let the arrow cool before exposing it to traffic or sweeping.
Recommended Uses
- Left turn lanes at parking lot exits and entrances.
- Internal drive lanes, loading areas, and plant roads.
- School, church, and hospital sites that need clear turn instructions.
Combine these arrows with your parking lot striping paint , stop bars, and optional roadway stencils to build a complete traffic control layout.
Storage and Handling
- Store the arrows flat in a cool, dry place.
- Protect from moisture, fuels, and solvents prior to installation.
- Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for additional handling and torch-use guidance.
Why Choose Tuff-Mark Left Turn Arrows
Tuff-Mark and Tuff-Mark with Tuff-Grip are proven preformed thermoplastic systems designed to meet or exceed most roadway marking performance specifications when applied correctly. Using pre-cut FHWA symbols reduces rework and provides a clean, professional look that helps drivers understand the intended traffic flow at a glance.
Select the skid-resistant Tuff-Grip finish in high-traffic or sharp turn areas, and specify glass beads when you want bright, reflective arrows that stand out after dark.
