Luminous and mechanical road signs are two types of signage used to provide guidance and information to drivers on the road. Luminous road signs are those that use light to make them visible at night or in low-light conditions. These signs are typically made from retroreflective materials that reflect light back to the source, making them visible from a distance. Luminous road signs are often used in conjunction with street lighting to provide clear and visible guidance to drivers. Mechanical road signs, on the other hand, are those that are operated by a mechanical or electronic system. These signs can be used to display a variety of information, such as speed limits, traffic conditions, and road closures. Mechanical road signs are often used in areas where there is a high volume of traffic, such as highways and major thoroughfares. Both luminous and mechanical road signs play an important role in ensuring the safety of drivers on the road. Luminous signs help to ensure that drivers can see and read signs clearly, even in low-light conditions, while mechanical signs provide real-time information that can help drivers make informed decisions about their route and driving behavior.
