Any use or disclosure of this information is strictly prohibited. Questions to Ask Customers Where is the sign going? Many states have MUTCD supplements and additional sign requirements o If not a Federally regulated sign, may be a state specific design If a parking sign, many states have specific requirements on wording and fines To determine if a state has an MUTCD supplement, visit: The designation number if possible Having the number helps determine the exact requirements This number also makes finding state specific signs much easier If the requested sign is not a regulated sign, do they want us to follow the design standards? There are many signs in use that are not regulated. We can design a sign to follow the current standards for Regulatory, Warning and Guide signs
