Overhead SuspendedâSigns that are suspended from the ceiling using a cable or break-away fastening system B. Soffit MountâSigns that are located on an architectural soffit or wall, and mounted with the back of the sign to the soffit or wall using a mechanical fastening system C. Canopy MountâSigns that are either suspended or flush to the canopy and mounted with the top of the sign to the canopy using a mechanical fastening system D. Flag MountâSigns that are mounted perpendicular to the attachment surface, usually on a wall and/or soffit, and attached using a mechanical fastening system E. Post MountâSigns that are mounted directly to a ground mounted single or double post structure using a mechanical fastening system F. FreestandingâSigns that have their bases mounted directly to the ground/finished floor using a mechanical fastening system Mounting Restrictions Minimum clearance heights for overhead vehicular signs are dictated by overall architectural limitations and must be coordinated with posted clearance information provided in advance of the curbside. 215 A P P E N D I X C CurbsideâBasic Mounting Types
