Policies for Curbside Mailboxes – Per the United States Postal Service

You need to contact your local Post Office before moving your mailbox or mailbox support, because your mailbox needs to be approved by the Postal Service. Your postmaster will approve custom-made mailboxes on a one-time basis as long as they generally meet USPS standards.

You should install the mailbox with the bottom of the box at a vertical height of between 41-45 inches from the road surface, unless you have a road or curb condition that prevents this. If you do, be sure to contact the postmaster before you change your mailbox location.
 

Boxes must also be on the right-hand side of the road and in the carrier’s direction of travel in all cases in which driving on the left-hand side to reach the boxes would pose a traffic hazard or violate traffic laws and regulations.

Your mailbox should be set back 6 to 8 inches from the front face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door.

A mailbox with a lock must be a model that’s USPS approved by the Postmaster General, with a slot large enough to accommodate your daily volume of mail.

You can attach a receptacle for newspaper delivery by a private company to the post of a curbside mailbox used by the Postal Service as long as it doesn’t:
 

touch or use any part of the mailbox for support.

interfere with mail delivery, obstruct the view of the mailbox flag, or present a hazard to a mailperson or vehicle.

extend beyond the front of the mailbox when the box door is closed.

display any advertising, except the publication’s title.
 

For posts and supports, it’s up to you to keep them neat and adequate in strength and size. Ideally, its assembly should bend or fall away when struck by a vehicle. The Postal Service doesn’t regulate mailbox supports except for purposes of carrier safety and delivery efficiency. It’s also your responsibility to ensure a path is clear to your mailbox so that carriers can safely and efficiently deliver the mail.
 

Installation of curbside mailboxes must meet our specific construction standards, which you can find at your local Post Office™.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced that preliminary work has begun on the Sumneytown Pike/Route 309 Connector project.  Construction crews will move on site and begin the initial operations within the next two to three weeks.   Road closures and road restrictions should be expected.  The project is slated to take three years to be completed.

Bucks, Chester and Montgomery Counties have jointly developed this registry to allow citizens with special needs and their associates an opportunity to provide information to emergency response agencies, so emergency responders can better plan to serve them in a disaster or other emergencies.

For the purpose of this project, a special needs individual is someone who cannot receive, understand or act upon emergency protective orders.

The information collected here will not be available to the public. The information will be held securely and only accessed for the purpose of emergency response and planning.

Please be as complete as possible in your responses. You will be e-mailed periodically to verify and ensure the information provided is correct and to make any necessary changes. Individual surveys will be archived after one year if not verified and facility surveys will be archived after six months if not verified. Click here for more information.

ReadyNotifyPA is a system that helps local officials in Southeastern Pennsylvania send emergency text alerts and other important notifications to you quickly.  ReadyNotifyPA can send these to your cell phone, pager, BlackBerry, PDA and/or Email account.  You decide how you'd like to be notified.  For more information click here.
