General requirements
for mailboxes on the
route include that they
be located on the right
hand side of the road
in the direction traveled
by the carrier , and that
boxes and supports be
kept painted and free
from rust.
Wherever practicable
mailboxes should be lo
cated so that carriers
need not halt on the
traveled portion of the
roadway. This specifi
cation is particularly
important near curves
or hill crests where
sight lines are frequent
ly inadequate to assure
the safety of carriers
when they are serving
boxes at these locations.
