Custom Flat Blade Street Name Sign With Arrow

Point the way with an arrow on your street sign

An arrow beside the street name lets one sign do two jobs: it names the street and shows drivers which way to turn for it. Your design goes on the front and the back of a flat .080" aluminum blade, and the reflective 3M sheeting makes the arrow as easy to spot at night as the name.

• Four arrow directions: left, right, up, or down
• Arrow placed at the left end or the right end
• Prefix and suffix choices work the same as on our plain blade
• No drilled holes, so it drops into a standard flat blade bracket

Good places for an arrow sign

Private roads, gated communities, campuses, parks, marinas, and business parks use them to steer visitors toward a lane that starts out of sight, the road to a clubhouse or loading dock, or a trailhead. A right arrow usually goes on the right end and a left arrow on the left end, the side drivers turn toward.

Picking the length

The arrow takes up about as much room as two or three letters. While you type, the designer checks every length and marks the shortest blade that holds both the name and the arrow at full letter size.

Is an arrow allowed on a public street sign?

For the street name sign at the corner (D3-1), the MUTCD describes one case: where a road changes its name at an intersection, both names may share one sign, each with its own arrow. A sign with one name and an arrow is not a standard MUTCD street name sign, so use it on private property, or ask your city or county before it goes up on a public road.

Front and back

On the back, a left or right arrow moves to the other end and turns around, so drivers coming from either direction are sent the same way. A down arrow, pointing at the spot below the sign, prints the same on both faces. An up arrow means straight ahead, so each face tells its own side's drivers to keep going.

Without the arrow, the same blade is our flat street name sign.
