Universal Citation: 2 DE Admin Code 2B.37

Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024

Standard:

01 The DO NOT ENTER (R5-1) sign (see Figure 2B-11) shall be used where traffic is prohibited from entering a restricted roadway.

Guidance:

02 (DE Revision) The DO NOT ENTER sign, if used, should be placed directly in view of a road user at the point where a road user could wrongly enter a divided highway, one-way roadway, or ramp (see Figures 2B-12 and 2B-12A). The sign should be mounted on the right-hand side of the roadway, facing traffic that might enter the roadway or ramp in the wrong direction.

03 If the DO NOT ENTER sign would be visible to traffic to which it does not apply, the sign should be turned away from, or shielded from, the view of that traffic.

03A (DE Revision) DO NOT ENTER (R5-1) signs (see Figure 2B-12) should be installed on both the right-hand and left-hand side of the roadway, facing traffic that might enter the roadway in the wrong direction at intersections of divided highways with state-maintained roadways (excluding subdivision streets) where the median width is greater than 30 feet (see Figure 2B-12).

03B (DE Revision) A DO NOT ENTER (R5-1) sign should be installed on the right-hand side of the roadway, facing traffic that might enter the roadway in the wrong direction at intersections of divided highways with subdivision streets, non-DelDOT owned roadways, private driveways, and median U-turn openings where the median width is greater than 30 feet (see Figure 2B-12A).

03C (DE Revision) Along divided highways, the minimum spacing between DO NOT ENTER (R5-1) and WRONG WAY (R5-1a) signs should be 300 feet. Where site conditions make it difficult to provide a minimum spacing of 300 feet between DO NOT ENTER (R5-1) and WRONG WAY (R5-1a) signs along divided highways, a minimum spacing of 200 feet should be provided.

Option:

04 The DO NOT ENTER sign may be installed where it is necessary to emphasize the one-way traffic movement on a ramp or turning lane.

05 (DE Revision) A second DO NOT ENTER sign on the left-hand side of the roadway may be used, particularly where traffic approaches from an intersecting roadway (see Figure 2B-12A).

Support:

06 Section 2B.41 contains information regarding an optional lower mounting height for DO NOT ENTER signs that are located along an exit ramp facing a road user who is traveling in the wrong direction.
