Standards for the sign design and application of the signs shown here as well as for other traffic control devices are contained in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Dimension drawings for signs can be found in the Standard Highway Signs book. Both of these books are available in electronic format online at https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov. This web site also contains information on standard lettering used on highway signs and pavement markings and on highway sign color specifications.

**The use of coral for incident management signs was anticipated for inclusion in the 2003 edition of the MUTCD at the time of this printing.

Roadway signs in the United States increasingly use symbols rather than words to convey their message. Symbols provide instant communication with roadway users, overcome language barriers, and are becoming standard for traffic control devices throughout the world. Familiarity with symbols on traffic signs is important for every road user in order to maintain the safety and efficiency of our transportation facilities.

The color of roadway signs is an important indicator of the information they contain. The use of red on signs is limited to stop, yield, and prohibition signs. A white background indicates a regulatory sign; yellow conveys a general warning message; green shows permitted traffic movements or directional guidance; fluorescent yellow/green indicates pedestrian crossings and school zones; orange is used for warning and guidance in roadway work zones; coral is used for incident management signs;** blue indicates road user services, tourist information, and evacuation routes; and brown is for guidance to sites of public recreation or cultural interest.

Sign shape can also alert roadway users to the type of information displayed on a sign. Traffic regulations are conveyed in signs that are rectangular with the longer direction vertical or square. Additional regulatory signs are octagons for stop and inverted triangles for yield. Diamond-shaped signs signify warnings. Rectangular signs with the longer direction horizontal provide guidance information. Pentagons indicate school zones. A circular sign warns of a railroad crossing.

The BlackHawk Taser X-26 Level 2 SERPA Holster utilizes a unique clip attachment that allows officers to add or remove their taser between shifts. This taser X26 holster features BlackHawk’s popular SERPA technology for level II retention and a cross-draw design with a rock forward draw. When re-holstered, the lock automatically engages. For an additional measure of safety, this retention holster completely covers the trigger and retains the probes in the case of accidental activation.

The taser, also known as an electrical discharge weapon, is a vital piece of equipment worn at the non-dominant side of the officer’s duty belt. Since this self-defense tool is high in voltage, it is required to use a holster to keep it retained and worn on the weak side to prevent weapon confusion under stress. Most taser holsters will have some form of retention, such as a lever or thumb break and a closed bottom design to protect both the cartridge and the officer. Taser holsters also have many mounting options, but the most popular is the clip-on design due to the ease of attachment/removal without taking items off the duty rig.
