Abstract:

A traffic signaling device includes a strobe light directed upon a portable traffic sign for alerting distant motorists of an upcoming traffic condition and for enhancing readability of the traffic sign. The signaling device includes a rotatable sign assembly releasably attached to a primary shaft suitable for holding by a road construction worker. The sign assembly includes a handle which cooperates with a channel within the primary shaft whereby the sign can be rotated to discrete, locked positions without repositioning the primary shaft or strobe light. Thus, either side of a sign may be displayed to oncoming traffic while a worker's eyes are always shielded from the strobe light.
