is located. These numbers shall be at least four inches in height
with one-half-inch-wide strokes, and shall be placed on both sides
of the post or mailbox, at a minimum height of three feet, so as numbers
can be seen by vehicles traveling from either direction. All street
numbers shall be illuminated when possible, and shall be colored in
contrast with the background upon which the number is placed.
