Good, you posted it! And yes, my numbers are plain, big, black and mounted on white trim. They are carefully placed where the porch light shines on them at night and no shadow or glare fall on them. I don't want to slow down an ambulance driver if one of my beloved but elderly neighbors falls again.
-
Yes our house is white stucco, and the dark numbers can be seen.
-
Hmmmm. I never keep my outside light on and the numbers are dark (not shiny or particularly noticeable) in the dark. Looks like I am keeling over with that heart attack unless my roommate is willing to do something about it :)

Mine is not visible, but they would be able to find me, they are across the street every week.
-
No, I have not, but my husband did before we moved in. He is on the local volunteer fire department and thinks of things like that.
-
Yes. The town I live in reminds people to check the visibility of house numbers regularly.
-
That is a very good point Phillis!! I had not thought of that!! My house number would not be visible at night, the emergency repsonse (police, fire, emt) would have to know the neighborhood themselves to be able to find it. Even the porchlight doesnt illuminate the house number. Yikes, I better get on that!
-
On my mailbox, my numbers are six inches high. No problem here.
-
Well i live in a big country house so I got no number... and no road :-P

+5 Great advice, you may save someones life with that. Thanks

Yes. We have our address on our house .. on both sides of our mailbox at the curb ... and we have a solar address marker too. We're A-OK. (Best part is that we have a fireman living right across the street who is also an EMT!)
-
I've never done that, but we have our house number at the end of our driveway and it's the type of sign that is very visible in the light of headlights, so they could probably find me. The township put in the signs a long time ago to make it easier for emergency personnel to find specific houses.

my town has a 6" house number law
