Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1680-03-02-.13 - STREET NAME SIGNS ON CONVENTIONAL HIGHWAYS

(1) Local governmental agencies are encouraged to erect street name signs in urban areas at all street intersections regardless of other route marking that may be present and in rural areas to identify important roads not otherwise marked.

(2) It is recommended that a street name sign be installed on the near right-hand side of the State highway approaches. The street name sign should be installed as a separate sign assembly. However, where speeds are low and visibility of the sign can be maintained, the street name sign may be installed on the far right-hand side of the State highway approaches and located above the crossroad stop sign.

(3) At signalized intersections, the street name signs may be located overhead on the signal head span wire in lieu of ground mounted signing.

(4) The street name sign panel should be of adequate size to assure legibility of the sign message. The lettering must conform to the MUTCD.
