Any road with an official road name shall be marked with a road name sign that is clearly visible and legible from the road and meets the following standards:

Location. At the intersection of two or more roads or as required to clarify road location. The road name sign shall be visible from both directions of travel for a distance of not less than one hundred feet.

(2)

Construction. For county-maintained roads, the sign blade and the mounting shall be as specified in the Standard Improvement Specifications and Drawings, Drawing M-6, on file in the county engineering department. For all other roads, the sign blade and mounting shall be as specified in the Standard Improvement Specifications and Drawings, Drawing M-6, on file with the county engineering department except they shall have silver Scotchlite applied to both surfaces and the letters shall be capitals of die-cut green Scotchlite.

(3)

Erection and Maintenance. The purchase, placement, and maintenance of a road name sign is the responsibility of the following:

a.

Any road created or extended by a division of land, or a road providing access to the division of land, shall have a road name sign purchased and erected by the subdivider. Maintenance shall be as designated in subsection (3)b. or (3)c., whichever is applicable.

b.

The purchase and erection of a road name sign for all other roads that are currently unnamed is the responsibility of the party(ies) requesting the road name or the construction permit applicant. Responsibility for maintenance shall be with the party(ies) who requested the road name or with future construction permit applicants until such time as the county or another road maintenance entity is established to maintain the road and/or the road name sign.

c.

Maintenance for road signs located on roads maintained by the county is the responsibility of the county. In the case of roads maintained by other agencies (e.g. community services districts, road maintenance districts, homeowners associations, etc.), road name signs shall also be maintained by the agency responsible for road maintenance.
