Features
Upon placing a trapped sign and setting the text, the trapped sign will become active.[note 1] The last line will be automatically set to "-x-" if a normal trapped sign is used, and set to an empty line if a Secret Trapped Sign is used. Right clicking a trapped sign will cause redstone dust within range to gain a signal strength of 1 for one game tick. When mined, a trapped sign will drop all items used to craft it.
Technical Details
A trapped sign only powers redstone dust, not repeaters or other redstone devices and only powers dust in certain spots around it. A Wall Sign will power redstone dust directly adjacent to the block it is placed on. A Standing Sign will power redstone dust directly adjacent to the sign, or directly under the block the sign is placed on.

Prior to 1.15, a Secret Trapped Sign is crafted using an Ink Sac instead of a Black Dye. This was changed in 1.15 to match the new dye/item separation.
MC 1.8-1.10 Version
In the MC 1.8-1.10 versions trapped signs were a craftable item that would upgrade previously placed down signs. Below is the crafting recipes for the old trapped sign upgrades. Additionally, when mined, a trapped sign would not drop the items used to craft it.
