Big, Early Merge Direction for Right Lane Drops
The thermoplastic lane reduction arrow right is built for taper zones and lane reductions where drivers need clear direction before the merge point. The preformed 1-piece design helps you place it cleanly, line it up faster, and avoid the trial-and-error that comes with painting long symbols.
Key Features & Benefits
- 18-foot symbol: easier to spot from a distance
- 1-piece install: quicker alignment in long tapers
- Durable thermoplastic: made for high-wear merge areas
- Optional glass beads: improves night visibility under headlights
Choose Your Finish: Tuff-Mark Standard vs Tuff-Grip
- Tuff-Mark Standard (smooth): ideal for typical lane reductions and driving lanes
- Tuff-Grip (skid-resistant): adds traction for higher slip-risk areas, especially in wet conditions
For consistent bead coverage, use a Reflective Glass Bead Dispenser.
How to Use
- 1. Surface prep: Sweep and blow off debris. Surface must be clean and dry.
- 2. Position: Place the symbol where drivers will see it early in the taper.
- 3. Torch apply: Heat evenly until the marking bonds 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.
For longer approaches and continued guidance through the taper, pair it with a Preformed Thermoplastic Straight Arrow (2 pcs). If you need a dedicated turn callout beyond the merge, add a Preformed Thermoplastic Right Turn Arrow (2 pcs).
Recommended Uses
- Right lane reductions and merge tapers
- Work zones and temporary traffic pattern changes
- Commercial sites with channelized traffic flow
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
- Helps drivers commit earlier, smoother merges in lane drops
- Cleaner installs than paint, less rework in long tapers
- Choose smooth or skid-resistant, add beads when visibility matters
Add it to cart and make right lane drops easier for drivers to follow.
