Color Choices: Official MUTCD / DOT Colors
The MUTCD designates green as the official background color of all guide signs but also allows for substitute background colors. The alternate colors include blue, brown, and white. For the background colors green, blue, and brown, the street name and border, if used, must be white. For the background color white, the street name and border, if used, must be black.
Unofficial Novelty Colors
These colors are not approved for use on official street name signs for public roads but can be used on private roads, in private developments, and in other areas where signs do not have to meet MUTCD guidelines.
Samples of Printed Signs:
Please see the images below for actual signs printed with an image and street number.
Font Style Options
TrafficSign.com uses the approved font below known as FHWA Series 2000 when producing your street name signs, this font offers several variations of character compression and character spacing, the correct version will be selected by us when producing your signs. The selection will be based on the length of the street name versus the length of the sign ordered. Due to the nature and size of street name signs, more often than not, the street name is compressed (from side to side) to fit the name area on the sign; that's the reason we have recommended characters, as soon as you go over the recommended number of characters the legibility of the sign decreases and the compression of the name increases.
