SIGNS

All regulatory traffic control signage will be inspected at least once annually. Councillors and County employees will watch for and report any signs that have been damaged, removed, or have their view obstructed to ensure traffic safety on County roads.

If you see any sign issues please fill out the road issue form so we can ensure the safety of County residents.

Rural Address Signs

Rural Addresses are different than your postal address or your legal land description. Rural Address signs are provided by Camrose County and clearly identify your rural address for emergency services.

Click the button below, or contact the County office if you need a rural addressing sign for your property.

The rural addressing system in Alberta is derived from the township and range roads. The particular address of the parcel is determined by the location of the access road (driveway) as it intersects the grid road. This address is assigned by Camrose County and shared with Telus 911 for the purpose of emergency dispatch.

The address number is a maximum of 5 digits with the first three denoting the reference road.

Contact Alberta One Call for line location before installing any sign posts.

Signs shall be placed within 6.1 meters (20 feet) on either side of the shoulder of the driveway (approach) and located 1 meter (3.3 feet) from the property boundary either within the property boundary or within the road right-of-way boundary. The sign shall be no lower than 1 meter (3.3 feet) from ground level (measured from bottom of sign) and no higher than 2 meters (6.6 feet) from ground level (measured from top of sign).
