East Route Marker Signs are MUTCD compliant (MUTCD M3-2) and use effective images for traffic and pedestrian safety concerns on highway routes. East Route Marker Signs are helpful resources to aid in the protection of the health and safety on roads, and are not an alternative for required protective measures for eliminating or reducing hazards.
