Claim:
A foldable traffic sign system, comprising: a relatively rigid sign panel having a plurality of folding lines therein for permitting ready folding of the sign panel into a substantially smaller configuration; a sign stand comprising a two-piece telescoping mast and a plurality of folding legs for supporting said sign panel; a clamping mechanism disposed on said mast for selectively securing or releasing a top edge of said sign panel, wherein the clamping mechanism secures said top edge in an upright orientation when said sign panel is being placed in a deployed configuration, and releases said top edge to a folded orientation when said sign panel is being placed in an undeployed configuration; said plurality of folding lines being arranged so that said sign panel, in its undeployed configuration is configured in a generally triangular shape, with a hollow center portion within which said sign stand in a folded configuration may be disposed; and a generally triangular shaped tote bag which is sized for containing both said folded sign panel and said folded sign stand, disposed within the hollow center portion formed by said folded sign panel.
