[0002] During highway reconstruction and expansion, directional signs are crucial for ensuring vehicle safety and smooth traffic flow. However, existing directional signs have many shortcomings. At night or in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain or fog, the reflective materials of traditional directional signs have insufficient reflectivity, making them difficult for drivers to clearly see and increasing the risk of traffic accidents. Furthermore, most existing directional signs are installed at a fixed angle, making it impossible to adjust them according to different road conditions and lighting directions.

[0003] Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned technical problems has become the subject of this utility model. Utility Model Content
