We offer IMSA’s Signs and Markings Level II course. The primary objective of the Sign & Pavement Marking Technician certification process is to recognize those individuals whose understanding of standard signing and marking principles is thorough enough to enable them to apply these principles to on-the-job situations.

Safety Links is an authorized provider for the International Municipal Signal Association (IMSA).

In order to achieve this, the Level II preparation seminar has been designed to emphasize practical application of standard principles. More specifically, the following topics and their significance to day-to-day field work will be covered:

• MUTCD Sign Identification System
• Warning sign placement, sizes and other considerations
• Recognizing common signing mistakes
• Tort liability
• Principles of reflectivity
• Roadways and Rails

• Pavement markings
• Sign fabrication methods and materials
• Regulatory sign warrants
• Guide signs
• Route markers and trailblazer assemblies
• Equipment maintenance
• Sign Shop Management

These certifications are recommended for those who are involved in the traffic signs and pavement

marking industry. The materials and seminars are a valuable resource for people seeking training to expand their knowledge in design, installation, and maintenance of guide, regulatory, and warning signs. Placement and installation of pavement marking materials is also covered.

IMSA Sign & Pavement Marking Technician Level I Certification

IMSA is the oldest known association of its kind in the world and dates back to October 1896. The basic purpose of the organization was to keep its members and others in the profession, up-to-date on proper procedures of construction and maintenance of signal systems and informed on new products and equipment developments. In September 1937, the organization name was officially changed to the “International Municipal Signal Association” (I.M.S.A.).

IMSA also offers educational and certification programs in Traffic Signals, Work Zone Traffic Control, Municipal and Interior Fire Alarm systems, and Public Safety Dispatcher. At this time we do not offer any IMSA course other than Signs and Markings.

These seminars will increase the knowledge of the students which will enhance the safety of motorists, pedestrians, workers, and the general public, and reduce tort liability.
