TE 8_Restricted Area Sign.pdf

This document is a specification for a restricted area warning sign to be used at military or federal facilities. The sign measures 30 inches by 36 inches and features reflective material for visibility in low-light conditions. The sign displays text in red letters on a white background and communicates official warnings regarding restricted access to the facility.

The sign conveys that the activity area has been declared restricted under the authority of the Commander, in accordance with the Secretary of Defense directive issued on August 20, 1954, and pursuant to Section 21 of the Internal Security Act of 1950. The warning clearly states that unauthorized entry is prohibited and that all persons and vehicles entering the area are subject to search. The sign explicitly prohibits the introduction of weapons, ammunition, explosives, or other prohibited items, as well as photography and mapping of facilities without specific written authorization from the Commander. Any prohibited items are subject to confiscation. The reflective properties of the sign ensure it remains visible during nighttime hours or low-visibility conditions, making it suitable for perimeter security applications at restricted federal installations.
