Hello Craig, Most of em on the beach want FDC signs AT the connection, If the FDC is not visible from the street they want a FDC sign stating which side it is on. One of the areas requires you to buy the sign from them ($20.00), Their sign is reflective and states the type of system on it. Another area around here wants 2 signs back to back at the street facing the directions of travel so they can spot the sign from down the road.
