FAX Sign mounted on engineers stake.

This is an example of attaching a sign by bolting it directly to the pole, in this case the pole can also be identified by the visually impaired.
 

This sign is also mounted using U-Bolts.  In addition this sign has a pole extender to put the sign higher above the ground so it is harder to graffiti and so people do not walk into it.
