What is the absolute minimum height for ground-mounted signs in business, commercial, or residential areas?

The absolute minimum height for ground-mounted signs in business, commercial, or residential areas is established to ensure safety and visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. Ground-mounted signs must be positioned at least 6 feet above the roadway surface to avoid obstructing the line of sight for vehicles, reduce the risk of damage during regular traffic and maintain compliance with regulations designed to enhance road safety.

Positioning signs at this minimum height also allows for better visibility over roadside vegetation and other obstacles, ensuring that they can be easily seen by motorists and effectively convey important information related to traffic control, business identification, or other necessary communications. Adhering to this height requirement is critical for maintaining organized and safe traffic flow in various zones.
