New York Highway Exit Signs: Your Guide to Specific Service Signs from Eastern Metal Signs & Safety
When you’re cruising down a New York highway, clear and reliable exit signs are more than just a convenience—they’re a necessity. For drivers seeking gas, food, lodging, or other services, specific service signs (SSS) play a critical role in guiding the way. At Eastern Metal Signs & Safety, we’ve been crafting high-quality highway signage for over 75 years, and our New York-specific service exit signs are built to meet the state’s toughest standards. In this blog post, we’ll dive into why our road exit signs are the perfect choice for highways and how we make them available to municipalities, businesses, and contractors.
What Are Specific Service Signs on New York Highways?
Specific service signs, often seen on highways like the New York State Thruway or I-87, are those familiar blue panels that list nearby businesses—think gas stations, restaurants, hotels, and attractions. These signs are strategically placed before exits to help drivers make quick, informed decisions without distraction. In a state as busy as New York, where highways connect bustling cities and rural stretches alike, these signs are vital for safety and economic support to local businesses.
New York follows strict guidelines for these signs, aligned with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and state-specific regulations. They require:
- High-visibility colors (typically blue backgrounds with white text).
- Durable, weather-resistant materials to withstand New York’s harsh winters and humid summers.
- Precise sizing and lettering for readability at highway speeds.
At Eastern Metal Signs & Safety, our specific service exit signs are designed to exceed these standards, ensuring drivers can rely on them mile after mile.
