City Commission revisits street sign policy to prioritize street names over numbers

Pompano Beach City Commission has taken a significant step towards improving street signage clarity by amending a long-standing policy regarding the display of street names and numbers. During the meeting on May 13, 2025, the commission unanimously voted to change the order of street signage, placing the street name above the street number.

Public Works Director Grama Khan explained that the previous policy, established in 2012, aimed to reduce confusion caused by frequent name changes on certain streets. However, the commission recognized that modern navigation often relies on digital devices rather than traditional street signs. This shift in perspective prompted a motion to revisit and amend the existing policy.

Commissioner Fasig led the motion, which was seconded and quickly gained support from fellow commissioners. The amendment was passed without public opposition, reflecting a consensus on the need for clearer navigation aids in the community.

This decision is expected to enhance the driving experience for residents and visitors alike, making it easier to identify streets while navigating through Pompano Beach. The commission's proactive approach demonstrates a commitment to adapting city policies to meet the evolving needs of its citizens. As the new signage policy is implemented, residents can look forward to improved clarity on the roads.
