Street Name Sign Installation

What This Service Involves

Washington City Services supplies and installs street name (D3) signs that meet the MUTCD standards adopted by WSDOT, including the required upper- and lower-case lettering and minimum letter heights. We fabricate blades on engineer-grade or high-intensity prismatic sheeting to satisfy your retroreflectivity policy and match existing corridor styling. Installations include the post, hardware, and locate coordination so the work integrates with your existing sign inventory. Each installed sign is added to a location record your agency can fold into its asset management system.
