    The following hole configuration chart follows New York DOT requirements, however, it is only attributed to the Z-bar lenghts that are offered in this website. Holes size must be 3/8″ diameter.

    Post and horizontal Z bar arrangements are shown for common blanks. These arrangements may be adjusted as necessary where a number of sign blanks are grouped in sign assemblies or where additional posts are required due to post capacity limitations.
