Road Signs

Public Road Signs

Jefferson County Works Road Maintenance Division is responsible for installing and maintaining street signs on public roads. All road signs are in compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and installed to be in compliance with roadside safety guidelines. The sign crew manufactures all of the road signs that are posted along the county roads. If there is a sign missing, damaged, vandalized or incorrect, we can put in a work order to have a new one made and replaced.
