Can anyone go outside and measure...

a stop sign and a speed limit sign? I need to know the L and W of the speed limit and the radius of the corners. L and W will do though. I also need the diameter of the stop sign. Anyone that can go outside and measure it? I’m stuck at work till 5. Cookie for whoever can do it.

can i ask for what???

I’m making replica signs for a truck show next weekend. I want to make a stop sign that says DRAG instead of stop and a speed limit sign that says PRESSURE LIMIT 0 to encourage people to give me good footage at the show.

From my engineering details stop signs are or should be…
The pole that holds the sign 7’, the actual sign is 30" x 30"

I haven’t found the other one yet

30x30? i thought it was more of a rectangle.

Thanks, we have a bazillion PennDot manuals and regulations here but I can’t find that shit and the engineers/cadd guys are too busy to tell me which book it is.

do you need the details of the stop sign?
I can’t find the other detail for the life of me - -

You might want to check in one of the PennDot manuals Standards/Specifications: Street Signs: Details

go steal some pussy

I thought only Sloshelby had to do that :kekegay:

Pub 236M for PennDOT. That one isn’t available online for free like most of them. I will have to track it down in the office.

what do you think I am using for the support/backing? :blue:

he meant the stop sign is 30x30

ya. you’re right. i’m still learning to read

Speed Limit Signs
Manual Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) requires reflective speed limit signs for compliance.

Signs are made of reflective or non-reflective steel and are available in any increment.

All signs are 18"W x 24"H.
