Traffic Signs

Sign Problem?

The Traffic Division is responsible for fabricating, installing, and maintaining regulatory, warning, and directional traffic signs on all City-maintained streets. All street name signs on public streets are also maintained by the City. The Department of Transportation is responsible for signs on state-maintained roads. All traffic signs are made with high performance retro-reflective sheeting and placed in accordance with uniform local, state, and national standards.
