Sign Placement and Standards

TxDOT forces do not fabricate, install, or maintain these signs; therefore, each TxDOT district should retain the services of a contractor to fabricate and install the signs. The county may not install the signs on state right-of-way as per
Chapter 311
of the Texas Transportation Code.
Sign Placement.
 Historic route signs must be mounted independently in accordance with TxDOT installation procedures and at an agreed upon location. The signs
must not
 be installed on an access controlled facility, but may be installed on frontage roads. The signs
must not
 be mounted on the same support with other traffic control signs.
Sign Standards.
 Historic route signs must be reflective and fabricated in accordance with TxDOT specifications and procedures. The sign must have a brown background with a white border and white, 4-inch, Clearview letters. Figure 7-11 shows a sample sign layout.
