6" Street Name Signs

Choose 6" Street Name Signs for local, residential, and private-road applications where a compact blade and shorter reading distance are appropriate. The 6" blade height accommodates a 4" street-name legend. MUTCD Section 2D.45 permits initial upper-case letters at least 4 inches high, with lower-case letters at least 3 inches in nominal loop height, on two-lane local roadways with speed limits of 25 mph or less.Depending on the product, 6" street-name blades are available in flat .080" Alodine-treated aluminum with 3/4" radius corners or heavier extruded construction with a .240" top and bottom edge and square corners. Reflective options include High Intensity Prismatic sheeting.If the roadway speed is above 25 mph, the 9" blade is the better choice because it accommodates a larger 6" legend for improved legibility at longer viewing distances. Street Name signs use the MUTCD D3-1 designation; for official public-road use, common standard background choices include green, blue, white with black legend, and brown.MUTCD Section 2D.45 and Table 2D-6 address Street Name sign letter heights, blade design, color, and placement. Public-road projects should also follow the requirements of the agency with jurisdiction.
