Overhead Signs and Beacons

School flasher speed limit signs can be installed overhead for even better driver visibility than side mounted school flasher speed limit signs. The best uses for overhead signs and beacons are at locations where drivers cannot see the marked crosswalk due to topography or other unusual barriers, such as on the crest of a hill or around a curve.
