Street name signs (or street name blades) are informational road signs installed at street intersections, urban cross-roads, and residential layouts to identify street names, cross-avenues, ward numbers, and postal pincodes. They provide foundational navigation for motorists, pedestrians, emergency ambulance and fire services, and commercial delivery fleets.

Under IRC 67 guidelines, street name signs require uniform heights, high-legibility typefaces, standardized contrast ratios, and retro-reflective backgrounds for nighttime visibility.

• Typography: Approved Transport Medium font in title case for English, paired with approved standardized regional typefaces (such as Kannada script in Bangalore and Karnataka municipal corporations).
• Letter Heights: Typically 100mm to 150mm capital letter height for primary street names, ensuring legibility from 50 to 75 meters away.
• Color Scheme: Standard municipal configurations feature traffic blue or green retro-reflective backgrounds with white lettering and borders.
• Substrate: Extruded aluminum double-flanged blades or 3mm/4mm Aluminum Composite Panels resistant to bending and vandalism.
