Route Signing Guidelines
Use minimum number to be specific Urban areas
require more signs than rural areas Night routes
require more than day routes Inform drivers to
follow a common route when two signed routes
converge Signs should only be visible from
direction of approach and seen from a reasonable
distance
Consider Lighting Conditions
