Trinity County Municipal Code Art. III Signing and Building Numbering

To facilitate locating a fire and to avoid delays in response, all newly constructed or approved roads, streets, and buildings shall be designated by names or numbers, posted on signs clearly visible and legible from the roadway. This section shall not restrict the size of letters or numbers appearing on street signs for other purposes.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

Size of letters, numbers, and symbols for street and road signs shall be a minimum of three inch letter height, three-eighths inch stroke, reflectorized, contrasting with background color of the sign.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

Street and road signs shall be visible from both directions of a vehicle travel for a distance of at least one hundred feet.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

Height of street and road signs shall be uniform countywide, and meet the visibility and legibility standards of this article.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

Newly constructed or approved public and private roads and streets must be identified by a name or number through a consistent and countywide system that provides for sequenced or patterned numbering and/or nonduplicating naming within each county. All signs shall be mounted and oriented in a uniform manner. This section does not require any entity to rename or renumber existing roads or streets, nor shall a roadway providing access only to a single commercial or industrial occupancy require naming or numbering.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

Signs required by this article, identifying intersecting roads, streets or private lanes shall be placed at the intersection of those roads, streets and/or private lanes.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

A sign identifying traffic access or flow limitations, including but not limited to weight or vertical clearance limitations, dead-end road, one-way road or single lane conditions, shall be placed:

A. At the intersection preceding the traffic access limitation; and

B. No more than one hundred feet before such traffic access limitation.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

Road, street and private lane signs required by this article shall be installed prior to final acceptance by the local jurisdiction of road improvements.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

All buildings shall be issued an address by the local jurisdiction which conforms to that jurisdiction's overall address system. Accessory buildings will not be required to have a separate address; however, each dwelling unit within a building shall be separately identified.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

Size of letters, numbers and symbols for addresses shall be a minimum of three inch letter height, three-eighths inch stroke, reflectorized, contrasting with the background color of the sign.

(Ord. 1162 §1 Exh. A(part), 1991)

A. All buildings shall have a permanently posted address, which shall be placed at each driveway entrance and visible from both directions of travel along the road. In all cases, the address shall be posted at the beginning of construction and shall be maintained thereafter, and the address shall be visible and legible from the road on which the address is located.

B. Address signs along one-way roads shall be visible from both the intended direction of travel and the opposite direction.

C. Where multiple addresses are required at a single driveway, they shall be mounted on a single post.

D. Where a roadway provides access solely to single commercial or industrial business, the address sign shall be placed at the nearest road intersection providing access to that site.
