Parking Signs make it easy to provide specific directions and eliminate confusion. Traffic signs and Parking signs improve safety, prevent accidents and post your policies. ![Traffic and Safety Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/hs-fs/file-13824508-jpg/images/signs-traffic-parking-signs-resized-600.jpg)Depending on what your needs are, you may want to consider reflective, high-intensity or engineer-grade made out of aluminum, steel or polyethylene.    **HOW TO MAKE YOUR TRAFFIC SIGN LAST LONGER** - All traffic and parking signs from all manufacturers are basically made from the same materials - steel, aluminum or plastic.  These materials are susceptible to:   - Fading from sun damage   - Rust from rain and mist   - Cracking from the cold winds   - Graffiti from vandals    ![stop sign damage resized 600](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/hs-fs/file-13824526-jpg/images/stop_sign-damage-resized-600.jpg)This can be prevented with a special, unique topcoat called Duroshield.  Duroshield is a tedlar laminate on top of the vinyl sign face which is adhered to the sign's raw material.  This special laminate is so tough that it is able to stand up to the harshest weather conditions and chemicals.  The topcoat is graffiti-resistant blocking solvents and chemicals, allowing graffiti to clean right off and never damage the sign face.  For more information or questions, please e-mail [thesignstudio@sbcglobal.net](mailto:thesignstudio@sbcglobal.net) or give us a call at (818) 843-9200. **[NEED A QUOTE](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/quote/)** 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/Design-Tips-for-Effective-Signs/blog/bid/42404/Los-Angeles-Signs-TRAFFIC-AND-PARKING-SIGNS-For-Your-Safety-and-Direction#comments-listing) Topics: [Safety Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/safety-signs), [Traffic Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/traffic-signs), [Reflective Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/reflective-signs), [Speed Limit Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/speed-limit-signs), [Danger Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/danger-signs), [do not enter signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/do-not-enter-signs), [exit signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/exit-signs), [Stop Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/stop-signs), [OSHA Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/osha-signs), [Parking Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/parking-signs), [Reserved Parking Signs](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/topic/reserved-parking-signs) [All posts](https://www.thesignstudioonline.com/design-tips-for-effective-signs/blog/all) [![The Sign Studio Video Los Angeles](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/36106/51b40736-3436-4a0f-985a-18a991a25bfa.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/36106/51b40736-3436-4a0f-985a-18a991a25bfa) ### Subscribe by Email ### Most Popular Posts ### Posts by Month -
