Competitive Signs breaks down why the pylon-versus-monument sign decision is a sightline and traffic-speed calculation, not a style preference — the actual visibility math showing how a driver's reaction window shrinks from 3.4 to 2 seconds between 30 and 50 mph, why monument signs structurally can't solve a sightline-obstruction problem the way added pole height can, and how New Jersey's town-by-town height caps (no statewide sign code) change what's actually buildable before a design even starts. Covers illumination's role in nighttime visibility, a real Route 46 case where a code-compliant monument sign was still functionally invisible to eastbound traffic, and realistic engineering/permitting timelines for taller pylon structures.
