Before you finalize the design and purchase of your new Watchfire LED sign for your school sign it is important to ensure it meets all local codes and ordinances. Making changes once the sign is installed is an unfortunate and costly mistake that can easily be avoided with a little research and education. 

Signdealz is the leader in LED Signs for Schools

Some of the most common local ordinances address:

  • Location: Regulations often dictate where a sign can be placed, how far it must be from sidewalks, roads, or other buildings, and its location relative to other signs.
  • Animation: Local ordinances may determine the length of the animation series, the frequency, and what times of day the animation can be live. 
  • Timing: Your community may have regulations that dictate the duration of the message display, transition, and the frame effects. A industry standard for LED signs is a transition to a new message every 1-2 seconds. Local regulations most often affect message transitions and frame effects.
