Street Signs

Signs are put up to keep the public safe and to keep the flow of traffic moving smoothly. Street markers help drivers find their way around the city; Stop signs and speed limit signs lower the possibility of vehicle collisions; Yield signs let you know the other guy gets to go first; and construction signs warn you that there is work in progress up ahead.

There are four types of signs that are easily distinguishable by their color within the City of Bozeman:

Informational signs, such as street markers, are green and white
Regulatory signs are either red and white such as stop signs or white and black such as speed limit signs.
Warning signs are yellow and black, Yield and Dip signs are a good example.
Construction signs are orange and black.

The Solar Powered Speed signs and variable speed signs are also maintained as well as the delineators that mark islands and edges of the roadways.

Members of the public can make a sign installation or sign change request by completing the correct form, click here to access the form.

Currently we do not have the signs throughout town in a GIS system, that is something that we will be working on in the future.

Vandalism

Vandalism is a serious issue, not only is it a safety concern but there is a cost involved when replacing signs that have been stolen or vandalized. Signs cannot be cleaned because of the requirement for reflectivity so those signs need to be replaced. The public can help us with this, please call the police when you witness anything happening with signs that could result in injury or death and if you see a sign that is missing or has been knocked down please call the City Shops at 582-3202 to let us know.

Posting Signs
