Can the  address number of your house be seen clearly from the street?

For years, the Fire Marshal has been advocating that residents need to have their street number clearly visible for emergency purposes.  

Deane Lanier, with Insurance Risk Services is contracted by insurance companies to survey and take pictures of properties to show insurance companies how insurable the properties in question are.  He says that especially with the elderly, properties need to be identified from the street.  He claims that in the past when he has to go onto a property looking for the number,  he has been harassed and even threatened at gunpoint.  

Along with the Fire Marshal, Lanier asks people to update or make new number signs that are large and easily visible from the roadside.
