Section 2A.15 - Enhanced Conspicuity for Standard Signs
Universal Citation: 2 DE Admin Code 2A.15
Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
Option:
01 Based upon engineering judgment, where the improvement of the conspicuity of a standard regulatory, warning, or guide sign is desired, any of the following methods may be used, as appropriate, to enhance the sign's conspicuity (see Figure 2A-1):
A. Increasing the size of a
standard regulatory, warning, or guide sign.
B. Doubling-up of a standard regulatory,
warning, or guide sign by adding a second identical sign on the left-hand side
of the roadway.
C. Adding a solid
yellow or fluorescent yellow rectangular "header panel" above a standard
regulatory sign, with the width of the panel corresponding to the width of the
standard regulatory sign. A legend of "NOTICE," "STATE LAW," or other
appropriate text may be added in black letters within the header panel for a
period of time determined by engineering judgment.
D. Adding a NEW plaque (see Section 2C.62)
above a new standard regulatory or warning sign, for a period of time
determined by engineering judgment, to call attention to the new
sign.
E. Adding one or more red or
orange flags (cloth or retroreflective sheeting) above a standard regulatory or
warning sign, with the flags oriented so as to be at 45 degrees to the
vertical.
F. Adding a solid yellow,
a solid fluorescent yellow, or a diagonally striped black and yellow (or black
and fluorescent yellow) strip of retroreflective sheeting at least 3 inches
wide around the perimeter of a standard warning sign. This may be accomplished
by affixing the standard warning sign on a background that is 6 inches larger
than the size of the standard warning sign.
G. Adding a warning beacon (see Section 4L.03
) to a standard regulatory (other than a STOP or a Speed Limit sign), warning,
or guide sign.
H. Adding a speed
limit sign beacon (see Section 4L.04) to a standard Speed Limit sign.
I. Adding a stop beacon (see Section 4L.05)
to a STOP sign.
J. Adding light
emitting diode (LED) units within the symbol or legend of a sign or border of a
standard regulatory, warning, or guide sign, as provided in Section
2A.07.
K. Adding a strip of
retroreflective material to the sign support in compliance with the provisions
of Section 2A.21.
L. Using other
methods that are specifically allowed for certain signs as described elsewhere
in this Manual.
