We are required to designate 12 carpool spaces for our LEED project and plan to install pole mounted signs. Would it be possible to provide (1) sign with an arrow at each side of the bank of designated spaces or does each space require an individual sign? Thank You!

If you think about the overall length of a row of 12 parking spaces (100 feet or more), it would be very easy for someone to park in a space in the middle without noticing a sign several spaces away -- especially if a van or SUV is in the 'sign' space. You might be able to reduce the number of required intermediate signs by placing a sign between two spaces, with diagonal arrows towards each space. (But I don't have any experience with submitting this idea.)

You could also try using one sign at each end and a simple pavement marking (such as "CP") on all stalls - that would perhaps meet reviewer comments and save cost over 12 bollards & sign posts. I have never attempted this personally however.
