In addition to the above noted design criteria, the following installation procedures should also be followed:

 

1)     WV DOH approved supports to be used.

2)     Supports to be standard depth in ground (normally 3’)

3)     Lateral clearance of 6’ – 12’ from edge of pavement should be strived for

4)     Vertical clearance of 7’ from edge of pavement to bottom of sign should be maintained

Existing supports for existing signs should never be used to mount road name signing
