  1. I would like to find out more about warning markings. Good to know that warning markings should have DIN 67520 (Part 2) or at least reflection class RA2. I'll be looking for more information.

  2. Thanks for the important information that warning markings should have at least reflection class RA2. I am currently remodeling my house and would like to put up a warning sign for safe crossing traffic. I'm going to contact a traffic safety company tomorrow.
