When minutes count, it can be incredibly stressful on responders to locate your home. Sign requirements have been in place for many years but are often overlooked.
Here are some key requirements for signs that will ensure a timely response:
- Reflective!
- 4-inch characters with 1/2-inch stroke (thickness).
- White characters on green background.
- Mounted on a metal post or other non-combustible material.
- 4-6 feet above the grade of the road.
- Clearly visible from all directions of travel.
In the town of Nederland, there is an exception that allows the placement of the sign directly on a structure; if the building is within 30 feet of the public road and the sign is clearly visible from all directions of travel.
We're working with local hardware stores to have signs that meet these requirements readily available and will update once those vendors have been secured.
