Make Lane Drops Obvious, Keep Merges Predictable
The thermoplastic lane reduction arrow left is built for high-visibility merge guidance in taper zones and lane reductions. Since it is preformed and 1-piece, you spend less time laying out a long symbol and more time finishing the job.
Key Features & Benefits
- 18-foot symbol: big guidance drivers can recognize sooner
- 1-piece install: fewer alignment steps in long taper areas
- Durable thermoplastic: built for traffic wear in merge zones
- Optional glass beads: brighter at night under headlights
Choose Your Finish: Tuff-Mark Standard vs Tuff-Grip
- Tuff-Mark (Standard, smooth): a solid choice for typical lane drops and driving lanes
- Tuff-Grip (Skid-Resistant): adds traction where slip risk is higher, especially in wet conditions
For controlled bead coverage, consider a Reflective Glass Bead Dispenser.
How to Use
- 1. Surface prep: Sweep and blow off debris. Surface must be clean and dry.
- 2. Position: Align the symbol in the taper where drivers will see it early.
- 3. Torch apply: Heat evenly until bonded to the pavement.
- 4. Cool and reopen: Allow to cool and harden before traffic. Cooling is typically a few minutes. Cool water can speed it up.
Recommended Uses
- Left lane reductions and merge tapers
- Work zones and traffic pattern changes
- Commercial sites with lane drops and channelized flow
Need additional direction symbols for the same site? Add a Preformed Thermoplastic Straight Arrow (2 pcs) for long, clear lane guidance through extended approaches.
Storage & Handling
- Store indoors in a dry area.
- Recommended storage range is 35°F to 90°F.
- In colder conditions around 50°F and below, handle carefully to reduce cracking risk.
Why Choose This Lane Reduction Arrow
- Clear merge guidance that reduces confusion and complaints
- Faster installs than paint when you need consistent results
- Options for traction and reflectivity based on site needs
Add it to cart and make lane drops easier for drivers to understand.
