There are two steel sign placards per post both are reflective yellow background with black lettering; the top one is 30”x30” with a bicycle symbol on it; the bottom sign is 24”x30” with the warning ‘SHARE THE ROAD’.  The sign only cost is about $120.  Additional costs will be the post and the installation of the signs.
