Physical Features of Sign Placement
Many physical features may enter into the consideration of
sign placement. These include:
- right-of-way width
- driveways
- bar ditches and culverts
- trees and shrubs
- other signs and traffic control devices
- parking areas
- building overhangs
- overall sight distance due to curves and hills.
Choosing the correct sign location requires good engineering
judgment. Where possible, sign posts should not be placed in ditches
or drainage channels.
