Use the top line of the sign which is sheltered and still visible, substituting the letter of the alphabet for it numerical value

A= Fourth word, Fourth Letter

B= Second word,  Eighth Letter

C= Fourth Word, First letter

X= Fifth word,  Third letter

Y = Second word, Second Letter + 3

Z = Third word, First Letter

To verify you answers - Checksum = 30
