Hello All,

I am looking for some sort of Guideline/Procedure for Text Spacing on Overhead Signs. I know that SignCAD does this, but recently I have had some signs to be looked at again because of spacing issues, issues that I thought SignCAD would fix, but like any other computer program, it has its drawbacks. Any guidance would be apprciated. Thanks.

Recommended for you

the MUTCD should give guidance on what text size/spacing is appropriate.
 
In Canada, the TAC - Uniform Traffic Control Devices would be a good start. Many competant sign manufacturors will also be able to provide you with some advice (such as Hi-signs and Alberta Traffic Supply).
