General Service Signs
General Service Signs provide road users general information about facilities and services near the highway.

Examples of ZEV General Service Signs are shown below.
For more information regarding General Service Signs, please see Chapter 2I of the CA MUTCD. If you would like to install ZEV station signage, please see the Installation Guide (PDF) for guidance and work with a Caltrans District Sign Coordinator if you have any questions.
