En route and approximately 60 nautical miles from the destination airport at 5,000 feet mean sea level, the airplane experienced a total loss of engine power; attempts to restart the engine were unsuccessful. After making a successful landing on a street the airplane's right wing impacted a street sign, which resulted in substantial damage to the aircraft. The pilot stated, "If I had checked the fuel [prior to departure] I would have found that there was not enough fuel to complete the flight. The engine quit because there was no gas in the tanks."
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate preflight inspection, resulting in fuel exhaustion and the loss of power. A factor was the sign.
