Product Overview

McCain’s Illuminated Street Name Sign (ISNS) continues to gain popularity among transportation agencies as well as the general public due to its noticeable improvement to street recognition, road safety, aesthetics, and overall infrastructure. ISNS signs improve street name visibility and legibility from a distance in all weather conditions, especially at high volume intersections when drivers are unfamiliar with the roadways. This is particularly important at night because overhead signs receive only 10 percent of headlight illumination, making retroreflective signs less effective.
