A collapsible traffic control sign in the form of an arrow board for
providing an alert warning to approaching traffic includes a collapsible
frame including first, second and third frame members and four cooperating
link members. Each link member is connected at opposite ends with a
pivotal connection to a different one of the frame members. In a closed
condition, the traffic control sign orients each of the three frame
members in a substantially parallel and contiguous arrangement. When
opened, the frame members are spaced apart and extending between each pair
of frame members are two link members. The link members are oriented such
that each pair creates the shape of a pointed arrow. Three light
subassemblies are assembled to each of the four link members and the
lights are illuminated by battery power from a vehicle by means of a
cigarette lighter adapter.
