RE: Thin ice signs
I am installing ice-eaters at my property and need to put up thin ice signs. I, too, went into Heath's looking for thin ice signs, but decided $40 was too much money for a sign that I still had to secure to a piece of plywood. So, I decided to make my own.
I called the Department of Safety - Marine Patrol, and they sent me the specs on what the signs need to be, and I'll paint them up on some exterior plywood.
One thing I didn't know is that I am supposed to register the signs with the town. Does anyone know the reason for this? Do they maintain a directory of sorts? It's not for a revenue source, as it will cost me a whole 50 cents to register my sign.
I was also told that the sign should be lighted as well, although the specs call for a reflector. I haven't seen any lights on the signs I have noticed around the lake.
Anyway, I figured I'd pass along what I have learned this past week.
