Abstract: A traffic sign includes an elongated pole having a top end and a bottom end. The pole is substantially hollow and the top end is open. A panel has a first side, a second side and a peripheral edge. The first side has a first indicia positioned thereon and the second side has a second indicia positioned thereon. A spindle is rotatably mounted in the pole and extends outwardly from the top end of the pole. The spindle is attached to the peripheral edge such that the peripheral edge is positioned generally adjacent to is top end of is pole. A biasing member is positioned in the pole and is mechanically coupled to the spindle for biasing rotation of the spindle in a first direction. A locking assembly selectively locks the panel in and releases the panel from a stationary position. The panel rotates when the locking assembly is released from the stationary position.
