HOW TO BUY STREET SIGNS

1. Letter height

The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) has revised its recommendations to improve the legibility of street sign names.

According to the MUTCD....

"Lettering on street name signs should be at least 6 inches high. If upper case and lower case letters are used, then the upper case letters would be 6 inches with 4-1/2-inch lower case letters.

Abbreviated lettering to indicate the type of street or section of city may be in smaller lettering, at least 3 inches high. However, for local roads with less than 25 mph speed limits, the lettering may be a minimum of 4 inches with 2-inch letters for street abbreviations or city sections.

The street name sign shall be retroreflectorized to show the same shape and color day and night. The legend and background shall be of contrasting colors."
2. Reflectivity

Signs with reflective background sheeting are brighter and easier to read for all drivers. Give your street signs maximum visibility with high intensity reflective sheeting.

3. Contrast

White letters on a green background provide good contrast day or night.

4. Width

Street name signs typically use Series B or C letters. Using upper and lower case letters is usually more readable than upper case letters alone.

5. Letter-to-letter spacing

Studies have shown that legibility improves with increased spacing between letters.

6. Border

White borders make street name signs easier to locate and increases visibility as well.
