Can Your House Number Be Seen?

Is your home address posted where your driveway meets the subdivision or county roadway? The sign should be non combustible material - metal - with 4" reflective(3M Scotchlite) and contrasting numbers on a reflective and contrasting background. Your address sign should be positioned so that it can be seen as fire trucks approach your driveway while coming down the street. The sign should be at least 3 feet off the ground and on either side of your driveway within 12 feet of the roadway.

If your house can't be seen from the street, is your home address posted on your house with the same address with the same style numbers as on the sign at the end of your driveway?
