The intro

Traffic signs are the most noticeable element of traffic safety, as they are the most widely distributed element inside and outside cities and the most versatile, but also useful, as their importance is not limited to determining speed and directions, but it goes far beyond that stage.

The difference between cantilever & gantry

Cantilever:

Cantilever signs are available in a variety of sizes and styles and are typically installed on one side of the road, ensuring that the signs are compatible with road specifications and speeds We at Shwahid Co. We prioritise readability through the use of reflective films with high-definition and reflective colours, large font sizes that are easily readable from a distance, high visibility and durability for roadside signage, and robust construction. They are usually used on road exits, side roads, and other uses.

Gantry:

Gantry signs are road signs that are installed on two poles on both sides of the road. They are available in a variety of sizes and styles, which ensures that the signs are compatible with road specifications and speeds. Reflective films with high-definition and reflective colours and large font sizes that can be easily read from a distance are used to provide high-definition visibility. Used on highways, major highways, and vital roads within cities
