Specification for Over-dimensional Load Sign:
1. General Description: the sign consists of red vertical stripes on a white
background, having a white letter D in the center of the sign. The layout is
to conform to the drawing below.
2. Dimension: 300 mm. high and 2450 mm. long.
3. Material: The sign is made of ½” (or metric equivalent) GIS Douglas Fir
plywood with a medium density overlay. If the medium density overlay is
not used the plywood must be painted with two (2) good coats of exterior
enamel. The paint or overlay is to ensure the plywood surface is properly
sealed. The plywood is then covered, on the side which was sealed, with
white reflective sheeting with a minimum Level II reflectance (as per
Canadian General Standards Board Specification 62-GP-11M). The sign
message is then silk-screened on the sheeting using #712 Stop Sign Red
(3M-Corp) paint or equivalent.
