Toss OR Keep?
Can this STOP/SLOW paddle go back into service?
In Ontario, TC-22 STOP/SLOW paddles must meet the Acceptable condition criteria while in use. A marginally acceptable paddle is not permitted.
If the message is faded, damaged, partly missing, or difficult to read, the paddle may no longer meet the required standard.
For STOP/SLOW paddles, it’s simple: Acceptable or out of service.
In our next post, we’ll break down what “Acceptable” looks like and what to check before putting a traffic control device back into service.
