WAC 468-95-143
Street name sign (D3-1). Amend the
fourth guidance, paragraph 07 of MUTCD Section 2D.43
to read:
In urban or suburban areas, especially where Advanced
Street name signs are not used, the use of overhead Street
Name signs should be considered. If overhead Street Name
signs are used, the lettering should be at least 12 inch
upper-case with 9 inch lower case letters
where posted speeds are 40 mph or greater. For roads with
posted speeds less than 40 mph, lettering should be 8 inch upper case letters with 6 inch lower case letters
or greater for overhead Street Name signs. New construction
should include the larger size letters for overhead signs. Internally illuminated signs may use smaller letter size.
