Category questions
Answers for this product type.
Why are pole signs usually simple?
Drivers have limited reading time, so a short business name or mark is more effective than several lines of information.
How is height considered?
Road grade, surrounding obstructions, viewing distance and applicable property requirements all affect the appropriate position.
Can pole signs identify multiple tenants?
A shared structure can organize tenant panels, but the quantity and size of names must still support quick reading.
