Green is the MUTCD standard for destination and directional guidance, including street names, as it provides excellent legibility.
In many municipalities, a border is a stylistic choice that improves the high-end look of the sign while maintaining standard traffic compliance. Much like the borders used on custom highway signs, a border helps define the shape of the sign against complex backgrounds, making the text "pop" more effectively.
Our street signs use FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) fonts specifically the Standard Alphabet series to ensure maximum legibility for drivers. These fonts are engineered for "readability at a glance," which is why they are also used on MUTCD speed limit signs and other critical regulatory markers.
These signs are designed for a 10-15 year outdoor lifespan, resisting fading from the sun and corrosion from salt and moisture. By using high-grade aluminum and 3M protective overlays, these maintain the same durability as caution traffic signs found on major thoroughfares.
We offer both flat aluminum signs and extruded signs with reinforced edges for extra strength in high-wind areas.
Signs are available in two design types: capital letters or upper- and lower-case letters. Capital letters are traditionally popular. The MUTCD suggests the use of upper- and lower-case letters.
