When it comes to visibility and safety, reflective sheeting is a non-negotiable element of effective road signage. At Madave Signs, we use SABS-approved reflective materials that conform to regulatory standards and maximise visibility both day and night.

Classes of Reflective Sheeting Explained:

  • Class RA1 (Engineering Grade): This is the entry-level reflective sheeting suitable for less critical areas such as private estates, farms, or low-traffic environments.
  • Class RA2 (High-Intensity Prismatic): A higher-grade reflective used for regulatory and warning signs on public roads. Offers excellent reflectivity over longer distances.
  • Class RA3 (Diamond Grade): Premium-grade sheeting used for high-speed roads, highways, and areas where maximum visibility is essential, even in adverse weather conditions.

Why the Right Class Matters Using the correct reflective class ensures compliance with SANRAL and municipal guidelines, but more importantly, it ensures road user safety. Signs that meet the correct visibility standards help reduce accidents and improve road navigation.

At Madave Signs, we guide clients on the best reflective class for their specific needs, ensuring quality, compliance, and cost-effectiveness.
