Community Services

These signs are used to identify motorist services along the highway or within a community where motorists can stop for gas, food and lodging. The signs use company logos or business names to indicate upcoming services along the highway or within a community of under 25,000 people. Community Services Signs are an important part of communicating these services to the travelling public.
