The 18" Stop/Slow Paddle (SKU 03-830) is a hand-held traffic-control sign for the people who direct pedestrians and vehicles up close: school crossing guards, police, and plant security guards. It pairs a nonreflective .080 aluminum blade with a 9" Polygrip handle for a secure, comfortable grip through a full shift.
Built to the standard
The paddle meets MUTCD standards with a 6" letter size sized for the 18" blade (24" paddles carry 8" letters). This nonreflective, silk-screened version is intended for daytime, close-range signaling. When you need low-light visibility, the family is also offered with Engineer Grade, HI-Intensity, or Diamond Grade reflective sheeting.
Material and durability
The .080 aluminum blade carries a scratch-resistant paint finish, so the STOP and SLOW faces stay legible after repeated handling, weather, and storage. The Polygrip handle keeps control easy when guiding traffic one-handed.
