(a) Requirement. Every intersection must have signs naming all the intersecting streets. (b) Standards. The design and installation of street name signs, whether public or private street, must meet the minimum standards of the department of public works. (c) Responsibility. For new streets created by land division, the subdivider shall be responsible to provide and install the street name signs prior to final subdivision approval. For existing public streets, the State or County as appropriate shall install and maintain the street name signs. For private streets, the street owner is responsible to install and maintain the street name signs. At the request of the majority of the owners of a private street, and upon receipt of a fee sufficient to cover the cost of materials and labor as determined by the County, the County may fabricate, erect, and thereafter maintain the street name signs.
