Box number must be painted on box in numerals not less than one inch high. Post must be neat and of adequate strength and size. Approach to box should be a hard level surface (gravel, cinders, stone). Boxes must be placed to conform with state laws and highway regulations. Suggested installation of a single box.     Suggested installation where snow removal is a problem.   Extend box beyond end of post. Attach board holding box to post with screws or double head nails, permitting easy removal if necessary to adjust box height, 8 inch from curb , 18" minimum to post , 48" to bottom of box. On paved roads, the roadside face of the box must be offset the width of the shoulder plus 8 inches.   On curbed streets, the roadside face of the box must be 8 inches from the face of the curb.   On gravel roads, the roadside face of the box must be 2 feet from the edge of the graveled portion of the roadway.   When a mailbox is installed in the vicinity of a guardrail, the box should be placed behind the guardrail when possible with the face of the box even with the back of the rail.
