In this connection both linguistic and also extralinguistic peculiarities of constructing an urban sign are studied. Structural, content and functional characteristics of urban signs act as a core criteria. The author substantiates the emphasized criteria for constructing the classification by the frequency of enumerated features, and also their close interconnection.
