The invention provides a warning sign device. The warning sign device comprises a sign body and a continuous track assembly. The continuous track assembly is disposed on the sign body.

A warning system for a work vehicle includes an arm mount attached to a side portion of the work vehicle above a head of a person standing on a ground surface adjacent to the side portion of the work vehicle, and an arm attached to the arm mount. The arm is movable from an arm transport position, where the arm is oriented inside a path of the work vehicle, to an arm operating position, where the arm extends laterally outward from the side portion of the work vehicle. A warning light is mounted on the arm and is visible to traffic approaching the work vehicle from a rear end of the work vehicle, and a work light on the arm shines downward on the operator to illuminate the person the oncoming traffic and to facilitate operation of controls.

A safety trailer is shown including first and second platforms, at least one of said first and second platforms having an axle and wheels attached thereto; a plurality of interconnected wall sections positioned between and connected to the first and second platforms, the plurality of wall sections defining a protected work area on a side of the trailer; and wherein the trailer supports a ballast member, the ballast member being positioned near a first side of the trailer and the wall sections near a second, opposing side of the trailer, the ballast member offsetting, at least partially, a weight of the plurality of wall sections.

Right and left safety module embodiments are designed to be installed in openings located midway along right and left sides of flatbed trucks. The modules include a standing platform and an intermediate platform. While the truck is being driven alongside a roadway work zone, a worker standing on the module's standing platform either 1) moves traffic delineators one at a time from the intermediate platform, and then places the delineators at spaced locations alongside the roadway work zone, or 2) removes traffic delineators one at a time from spaced locations alongside the roadway work zone, and then places the delineators onto the intermediate platform. Vertically movable safety rails and pivotal safety gates of the modules prevent falls from the modules of workers standing on the standing platform.

An alert warning system. In an aspect, alert lights are configured to provide a visual alert and a sound system is configured to provide an audible alert to an approaching vehicle operator. The visual and audible alerts are responsive to a two-part initiation event. The first part of the event initiates the visual alert when the approaching vehicle reaches a first predetermined distance from a safety target. The second part of the event initiates the audible alert when the approaching vehicle reaches a second predetermined distance from the safety target. The second predetermined distance is less than the first predetermined distance.

An easily attachable and removable self-contained slide in storage, safety and warning light chassis assembly for use by the traffic control industry and others is described. The chassis assembly includes a bed portion that is built to slide into a pickup truck bed. Associated removable jacks can be used to raise and support the chassis while a truck is backed up under it, or where the jacks include castors, the assembly is rolled into the truck. Additionally, a safety platform portion is included on the rear portion of the chassis assembly, so that when installed it is disposed behind the bed of the truck for use in the placement and pickup of traffic control devises. The chassis assembly can be mounted securely to the factory hitch of truck as well as additional locations in the bed.
