City right-of-way permit for 2026: New signage requirements?

The city's new right-of-way permit rule requires a reflective sign with the permit number and contractor's contact information to be attached to the portable toilet, not just the fence. The sign must be visible from the street side, with letters at least two inches high on a white background. You will get the exact wording and dimensions from the permit office when they issue the permit placard. My last permit specified a 12-by-9-inch aluminum sign with the permit number, my company name and a 24-hour phone number in black, reflective vinyl. The old method of putting the permit on the fence is no longer enough; they want the unit itself labeled so inspectors can quickly identify authorized placements from their vehicles. For your crew of 15, one standard unit meets the minimum under OSHA 1926.51 for 20 or fewer workers. Weekly service is standard, and your truck access setup sounds fine. Call the permit office to confirm the sign specs before you submit the application.
