Traffic Sign Design & Installation
We specialize in highway signs, street signs, park signs, and custom signs. A well-designed, well-worded, and well-placed sign is one of the simplest and safest ways to provide direction and clarity. Our signs are designed and manufactured in-house and professionally installed.
Choosing how to mount a sign is essential for effective, long-lasting signage. Our engineers take terrain, local weather patterns, signage material properties, visibility needs, and other factors into consideration when making recommendations for sign support styles and materials that will be the most effective for your project specifications. Our sign designs and products are customized and durable.

- Bridge Structure – Spans entire roadway and can accommodate multiple signs
- Butterfly
- Cantilever – Designed with high-strength materials that allow for a long horizontal arm
- U-Channel – Versatile posts often used for standard roadside signage
- Multi-Post
- Square Post – Galvanized steel posts with excellent stability and durability
- Custom Brick, Steel, and Wood
Guard Rails & Impact Attenuators
Whether your project requires design, new product installation, customization, maintenance, or damage replacement, we offer a variety of solutions to meet your project needs and MASH and NCHR350 compliant specifications.
Guardrails are, typically, metal fencing alongside roadways that serve to prevent vehicles from colliding with roadside objects or veering off roadside embankments. Guardrails are also designed to help vehicles remain upright upon impact. Depending on the terrain and other local conditions, different guardrail materials and styles may be used.
Impact attenuators, also known as crash cushions or crash attenuators, are designed to absorb the force of a colliding vehicle. They are often placed in front of fixed structures to provide a first line of defense in case of a collision.
NBSCO offers a wide range of guardrail and impact attenuator options including:
- Thrie Beam – for increased impact strength
- Box Beam – for locations with high foot traffic
- W-Beam – standard highway rail
- Steel Post and Block – strength and uniformity
