If you are thinking about upgrading or repairing your mailbox, the U.S. Postal Service wants to ensure you are doing it by the book. According to the USPS, there is a specific way to handle mailbox installation to keep both your mail and local drivers safe.
Follow the Guidelines
Whether you are purchasing a new mailbox or constructing a custom one, the USPS provides clear guidelines for proper placement. At 205focus.com, we want to make sure you have the details you need to keep your setup compliant.
Safety First
Simplicity is key when it comes to mailbox support structures. Your mailbox must be installed on a support that is sturdy enough to hold its own, but flexible enough to bend or safely fall away if struck by a vehicle. This requirement aligns with safety protocols established by the Federal Highway Administration.
Key Reminders
- Ensure your mailbox is mounted on an appropriate, break-away support.
- Always keep the path to your mailbox clear and accessible for postal carriers.
