Street Signs is the third studio album by American rock band Ozomatli. It was released on June 22, 2004, through Real World Records and Concord Records. Recording sessions took place at Glenwood Place Studios in Burbank, Beatdown Studios, G Digital Recording, Mountain Mouth Studios, and Dog Dropping Studios in Los Angeles, with additional recording at The Plant in Sausalito, California and Music Lane Recordings in Austin, Texas. Production was handled by the band themselves, together with T-Ray, Chali 2na, Daniel Lewis, Don Corleon, Jason Roberts, J. B. Eckl and KC Porter.

The album peaked at number 125 on the Billboard 200, number two on the Top Latin Albums, Latin Pop Albums and Heatseekers Albums, and number seven on the Independent Albums chart in the United States.

It won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards,[6] as well as the Latin Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album at the 6th Annual Latin Grammy Awards.[7] Street Signs was included in Robert Dimery's 2005 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[8]

The song "Saturday Night" was featured in the video games Madden NFL 2005,[9] MX vs. ATV Unleashed,[10] and Sleeping Dogs, in the soundtrack to the 2013 film Turbo, and the trailer for the 2010 comedy film Hot Tub Time Machine.
