Tips: To get an idea how the numbers you are considering using can be seen from the street or by passing vehicles, try using your inkjet or laser printer to print them on cardstock or paper. Cut them out and use some tape to place them where you are considering. You may find that you need to move them so they are not hidden by a tree or you may find that you want them to be larger.

Numbers should be at least three or four inches tall. If they are not lit then make sure they are covered with a reflective material so they will be lit up by  passing headlights.

Avoid hard to read or script fonts.

Remember that if you put house numbers on your front door that a storm or screen door might cover them later.
