-
Placement of signs differs according to the type of sign and the specific site constraints. The following guidelines apply to placement of the majority of signs.
-
In general, do not place more than one sign at any location. Traffic signs are the exception to this rule, however, too many signs can cause visual pollution and become a distraction to drivers.
-
Place signs in areas free of visual clutter and landscape materials. Placement is critical to ensure easy readability.
-
Place signs in locations that allow enough time for the user to read and react to the message.
-
Signs should not be placed in a manner to block sight lines at intersections.
-
Place non-traffic signs approximately 1.2 meters (4 feet) above ground level to be within 10 degrees of the driver’s line of vision. Provide proper placement to avoid a hazard to pedestrians.
