Spray signs

On a trial basis, Sunrise will display only ONE spray sign per plot to improve operations and keep the information current. The red dots on the map below show the location of each sign.

When planning a trip to the Sunrise, you should:

  1. Check the online application re-entry notice.
  2. Check the spray board by the main gate.
  3. See if the sign is up at the plot.
