What is the average size of a street sign

Street signs require special brackets found in our bracket section. You should always refer to your local DOT guidelines and city requirements when installing traffic control devices. Novelty signs or street sign blades less then 6" tall are not allowed on public or private roadways. Typically around feet above ground, these heights insure better visibility and make it harder to vandalize the signs.

The MUTCD now recommend that street signs be high intensity reflective and lettered using upper-case and lower-case letters. On a 2-lane street, 8" or 9" blades with 6" letters are recommended for all speed limits. The 6" blades may be used when the speed limit is 25 MPH or less.

On multi-lane streets, 9" blades are used when speed limit is 40 MPH or less. Multi-lane streets with speed limits more then 40 MPH require larger signs with 8" letter heights when post mounting. Over the years, we get helpful information about traffic control issues from the cities we deal with.
