Is a pylon sign the same as a street sign? 

Pylon Sign

• Definition: A freestanding sign mounted on one or more poles or pylons.
• Purpose: Typically used by businesses to advertise their name, logo, or services, often visible from a distance.
• Placement: Found near highways, shopping centers, or large parking lots to attract attention from drivers or passersby.
• Design: Usually large, tall, and illuminated for visibility both day and night.

Street Sign

• Definition: A government-regulated sign providing road users with information about traffic rules, directions, or street names.
• Purpose: Primarily for navigation, safety, and traffic management.
• Placement: Installed by public authorities along roads, intersections, or highways.
• Design: Standardized in size, shape, and color (e.g., stop signs, speed limit signs).

A pylon sign is for business advertising, while a street sign is for public roadway information.
