Street signs for rent: STOP signs, curb signs by weekday, freeway boards and posts

Stop, yield, street name, one way and do not enter signs

Of the 39 STOP signs here, most are on S-1168, a white and red metal octagon at 30 by 30 inches with 19 in the book, and S-0180, the same at 25 by 25 with 17; the period STOPs are listed with the aged signs. EC's book holds more signs than this category does, among them smaller STOPs such as S-0671 at 18 inches and S-2534 at 12, and the stock book search on the home page looks through every line of it. S-1451 All Way (4) and S-1450 4 Way are the plates that go under a STOP. The 4 yield lines here, 7 signs, come at 22, 24, 27 and 34 inches, and the 34 inch S-0047 is black and yellow, the colors American yield signs wore before red and white.

Street name signs here are one line, S-1651, green and white metal with 10 in the book and a note to specify the street name and size. The one way table sorts its signs by the arrow: 5 point left on 4 lines and 11 point right on 7, most at 36 by 12 inches; S-2096 is double-sided, S-2331 has a pole mounting frame, and S-2097a and S-2097b are wood.

Curb signs: street cleaning, time limits, no parking and tow away

Two street cleaning lines run into double figures: S-1438m lists 14 Monday signs and S-1437 12 Tuesday signs, both No Parking 8 am to 10 am Street Cleaning, red and white at 18 by 12 inches, with S-1438w for Wednesday (2). Noon versions for Monday and Tuesday, a Wednesday Street Sweeping symbol sign, a Thursday sign and S-2301, a Tuesday and Thursday sign whose line the book cuts off at City Of Chic..., bring the total to 34 signs on 8 lines.

S-1648, No stopping 7 to 9 am and 4 to 6 pm except Sunday, has 17, S-0165 No Parking Any Time has 8 and S-0326 No Stopping Anytime 8. The zone table runs from 4 loading zone lines and 4 taxi lines, among them the masonite S-1032 Cab Stand #707, to Bus Loading Zone, Motorcycle Parking Only and Ambulance Parking; route signs for a bus stop are in Bus Station Signs.

Chicago, New York and snow route signs

For a curb that reads as Chicago, 4 lines print City Of Chicago in full, 7 signs from S-2303 to S-2306; S-2301 and S-2302 stop at City Of Chic... in the book, so ask the front office what they read. S-2113, Don't Even Think Of Parking Here, has New York noted after its size in the book, and a snow street gets S-2114 Snow Route No Standing (6) and the 3 AM to 7 AM snow no parking signs S-2368 and S-2307. For a New York block, green and white plastic NY Street Sign plates for Broadway and W 2, W 3 and W 4 St, S-2628 to S-2631, are in the book outside this category. For the bus stop, S-2259, a CTA sign the book marks Chicago, is in Bus Station Signs.

Speed limit signs from 5 to 65

Here the slow end runs deep, and so does 35: 5, the number for a lot, a campus or a private road, has 12 signs on 4 lines, one of them a fiberglass 5 MPH (S-2076), 10 has 7, and 35 has 9 on 2 lines, most of them S-1480 at 18 by 24 inches. The other numbers, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 65, have one to three lines each; S-0289 has reflectors in the 30, and the 40, S-1031, has bullet holes. There is no plain 25 here; 25 is on the school signs. A 45 with reflectors and bullet holes, S-0144, is elsewhere in the book, with no count.

Turn, lane, truck and pedestrian signs

The turn bans come as international symbols, as words and as both; No Turn On Red comes at 30 by 36 (S-2328) and 24 by 30 (S-2332); and S-2108, Gridlock Busters Don't Block The Box, has 3. The second table holds No Trucks, a 5 ton and a 10 ton limit, Truck Route, the pedestrian signs Use Crosswalk, Pedestrians Use Other Side Of Street and Sidewalk Closed Use Other Side, 3 no crossing symbol lines (5 signs), push button plates for a signal pole, Road Closed (2), Road Closed To Thru Traffic (S-2713) and a plastic Stop Sobriety Check Point; the BENT Road Closed, S-0328, is with the aged signs. Most of EC's orange work zone signs are in Street Repair Signs.

School zone road signs

The road signs around a campus are in the table below; two more, a School Xing at 24 by 18 (S-1058) and a school crossing symbol at 30 by 30 (S-1184), are in EC's book but not in this table and have no count, and more signs for the building itself are in School Signs. The school speed limits read 20 (S-0282) and 25 When Children Are Present on 48 by 24 boards (S-1434, S-1435), and the drop-off curb has S-2367, a foamcore Student Drop-Off Zone sign with 5 in the book, and S-1636, passenger loading limited to 5 minutes on school days.

Yellow warning signs and diamonds

Of the warning lines below, 11 share one size, 41 by 41 inches with a 30 by 30 inch square: Dead End (S-1620), No Outlet (S-1622), Not A Through Street (S-1621), End (S-0503), Slow (S-1274), Slide Area (S-1472), Watch For Animals (S-2781), Truck Crossing (S-0271), the right lane ends symbol (S-1041), the horse rider (S-1063) and the crosswalk figure (S-1789), so one road can carry several warnings at one size. Another 4 are 49 by 49 inches with a 36 by 36 inch square: Rough Road (S-2087), Thru Traffic Merge Left (S-2714) and the arrows S-1464 and S-1934; the traffic light picture S-2745 is 65½ by 65½ inches with a 48 by 48 inch square.

Dead End, Not A Through Street and Slow each come at 24 by 24 inches as well as at that 41 by 41 size. S-1063, a horse rider symbol, and S-1064, HORSE XING, are marked as matching, S-1789 puts a black crosswalk figure on neon yellow and green, and S-1861 High Winds Ahead is listed in black and white rather than yellow; the triangular crosswalk symbol S-2194 is also filed in European Signs.

Chevrons, arrows and reflector markers

S-2377 is a red chevron on white, plastic, 58 by 58 inches, with 38 in the book, and S-1665 is a red and white chevron in 12 by 18 inch metal with 18, so a curve can be lined at either scale; S-1912 is the large black on yellow chevron (8) and S-1914 a triple one. Striped boards, red and yellow reflector squares, yellow and black arrows (among them the double-sided Detour Left, S-1471), blue and white arrow signs and a blank white sign, S-1860, fill out the table.

Freeway, highway and route signs

For an on-ramp there are S-0440 Freeway Entrance, with a note to specify type 1, 2 or 3, and S-2077 Pedestrians Bicycles Motor-Driven Cycles Prohibited. The shields and boards reach past California: S-2026 Interstate 55, Ohio and Florida route markers, and 72 inch wide boards for NASHVILLE 20, Las Vegas 154 Miles and Springfield 7, Litchfield 47, St. Louis 98 (S-2016). Springfield, Litchfield and St. Louis are on Interstate 55, so S-2026 and S-2016 can sign one stretch of it. For a California freeway, two more destination boards are in the book but not on this page: S-2849, Los Angeles and Barstow at 96 by 48½ inches, and S-2342, Walnut 78 and Palmdale 245 in foamcore at 72 by 48.

Parking lot, private property and accessible parking signs

When every sign in a lot should be one size, 8 plastic lines on this page share 10 by 14 inches, 42 signs in all. S-2420 Employee Parking (11) and S-2428 No Parking In Driveway (9) lead the white and black ones; Visitor Parking Only, Parking In Rear and Reserved Parking are yellow and black; and the fire lane sign S-2437 is listed black and white. The red and white Fire Lane No Parking, S-2452, is listed at 14 by 10.

S-2888 and S-2892 carry one private parking wording at 24 by 18 and 30 by 23, and accessible parking takes 11 lines here and 22 signs, 7 of them on S-1269.

Neighborhood watch, no dumping and posted notices

Neighborhood watch comes in 5 versions, from S-0329 Warning Neighborhood Watch Program In Force to S-0560 Criminals Take Notice, and No Dumping comes hand painted on wood (S-0676, 45 by 30), in plastic and in metal. S-0890 State Law Says No Smoking is filed here, while more no smoking signs are in No Smoking Signs.

Period, aged and damaged signs

EC's own words mark the 9 lines below as old or damaged, and rough signs beyond this page include the bullet-holed 45, S-0144, and S-2460, a distressed Park-Ur-Self oval. S-0143, Keep To Right, is marked period, 1940s, with bullet holes, and S-1031, Speed Limit 40, has bullet holes too. The period STOPs have reflectors in the letters: S-0437 is a red 30 inch octagon, and S-0352 prints AUTO CLUB SO. CAL. at bottom center, its shape given as a hexagon before the line is cut off. S-1323, S-1439 and S-2934 are marked aged, S-0328 is BENT and S-1452 has a rusty stripe, and EC rents these, like all its items, "on an as-is basis."

Sign posts, poles and the call box set-up

Of the 7 lines below, all but C-0354 are posts and poles alone, with no sign. P-0226 is a black 4 foot post on an 18 inch round base, 21 in the book, and P-0225 is a silver flattened pipe, also 4 feet, on the same base. The P-0083-08, P-0083-10 and P-0083-12 poles stand 8, 10 and 12 feet on 24 inch square bases, and P-0129, a post with base for street signs, asks you to specify 8 or 10 feet; none of those four has a count in the book. Apart from that call box set-up, none of these lines pairs a post with a particular sign, and of the sign lines above only S-2331 names a pole mounting frame, so ask the front office whether a sign goes on a 1 inch round post or pole or on the 3 inch flattened pipe of P-0225. Other set-ups in the book include S-1651p, a street sign pole 9½ feet tall on an 18 by 14 inch base, and S-2126, a street sign set-up on a 9 foot post with base. Construction sign stands are in Sign Posts.

C-0354 is the freeway call box set-up as one line, and the book lists what it includes until the line is cut off: the P-0019 phone, a 12 foot pole and base, the S-1183 sign and the S-1329 solar panel. It has no count, is also filed in Telephone Callboxes, and goes out without an electrical plug, which EC's policies say makes items non-operational at pickup.

The 12 foot pole, the 72 inch boards and every base

Next to 12 by 18 inch curb plates such as S-1648, a few lines here run large: S-2279's cut-off line gives 82 inches, S-2016 is 72 by 48 inches, S-1886 is 72 inches tall, S-2745 is 65½ by 65½ inches, each S-2377 chevron is 58 inches square, and P-0083-12 is a 12 foot pole. The renter's crew carries every sign, post and base, from the 18 inch round bases of the 4 foot posts to the 24 inch square bases of the tall poles.
