Universal Citation: 2 DE Admin Code 2B.52

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

Standard:

01 Traffic Signal signs applicable to pedestrian actuation (see Figure 2B-26) or bicyclist actuation (see Figure 9B-2) shall be mounted immediately above or incorporated into the pushbutton detector units (see Section 4E.08).

Support:

02 Traffic Signal signs applicable to pedestrians include:

A. CROSS ONLY ON GREEN (symbolic circular green) (R10-1);

B. CROSS ONLY ON (symbolic walk indication) SIGNAL (R10-2);

C. Push Button for Walk Signal (R10-3 series); and

D. Push Button for Green Signal (R10-4 series).

Option:

03 The following signs may be used as an alternate for the R10-3 and R10-4 signs:

A. Push Button to Cross Street Wait for Walk Signal (R10-3a); or

B. Push Button to Cross Street Wait for Green Signal (R10-4a).

04 The name of the street to be crossed may be substituted for the word STREET in the legends on the R10-3a and R10-4a signs.

Guidance:

05 The finger in the pushbutton symbol on the R10-3, R10-3a, R10-4, and R10-4a signs should point in the same direction as the arrow on the sign.

Option:

06 (DE Revision) Where symbol-type pedestrian signal indications are used, an educational sign (R10-3b) may be used instead of the R10-3 sign to improve pedestrian understanding of pedestrian indications at signalized intersections. Where word-type pedestrian signal indications are being retained for the remainder of their useful service life, the legends WALK/DONT WALK may be substituted for the symbols on the educational sign R10-3b, thus creating educational sign R10-3c. The R10-3d, R10-3d-DE, R10-3d-DE1, R10-3e-DE2, R10-3e-DE3, and R10-32-DE4 educational signs may be used to inform pedestrians that the pedestrian clearance time is sufficient only for the pedestrian to cross to the median at locations where pedestrians cross in two stages using a median refuge island. The R10-3e, R10-3e-DE, R10-3e-DE1, R10-3e-DE2, R10-3e-DE3, and R10-3e-DE4 educational signs may be used where countdown pedestrian signals have been provided. In order to assist the pedestrian in understanding which pushbutton to push, the R10-3f to R10-3i educational signs that provide the name of the street to be crossed may be used instead of the R10-3b to R10-3e educational signs.

Guidance:

06A (DE Revision) At state-maintained traffic signals, R10-3 series signs should be installed at signalized pedestrian crossings with non-countdown pedestrian signals as follows:
A. The R10-3b sign should be used where the pushbutton is aligned with the crosswalk.

B. The R10-3b-DE sign should be used where two pushbuttons are located on one pole.

C. The R10-3b-DE1 sign should be used where no pushbutton is present.

D. The R10-3d sign should be used where the pushbutton is aligned with the crosswalk and where the pedestrian clearance time is sufficient only for pedestrians to cross to the median.

E. The R10-3d-DE sign should be used where two pushbuttons are located on one pole and where the pedestrian clearance time is sufficient only for pedestrians to cross to the median.

F. The R10-3d-DE1 sign should be used where no pushbutton is present and where the pedestrian clearance time is sufficient only for pedestrians to cross to the median.

06B (DE Revision) At state-maintained traffic signals, R10-3 series signs should be installed at signalized pedestrian crossings with countdown pedestrian signals as follows:
A. The R10-3e sign should be used where the pushbutton is aligned with the crosswalk.

B. The R10-3e-DE sign should be used where two pushbuttons are located on one pole.

C. The R10-3e-DE1 sign should be used where no pushbutton is present.

D. The R10-3e-DE2 sign should be used where the pushbutton is aligned with the crosswalk and where the pedestrian clearance time is sufficient only for pedestrians to cross to the median.

E. The R10-3e-DE3 sign should be used where two pushbuttons are located on one pole and where the pedestrian clearance time is sufficient only for pedestrians to cross to the median.

F. The R10-3d-DE4 sign should be used where no pushbutton is present and where the pedestrian clearance time is sufficient only for pedestrians to cross to the median.

Option:

07 The R10-24 or R10-26 sign (see Section 9B.11) may be used where a pushbutton detector has been installed exclusively to actuate a green phase for bicyclists.

08 The R10-25 sign (see Figure 2B-26) may be used where a pushbutton detector has been installed for pedestrians to activate In-Roadway Warning Lights (see Chapter 4N) or flashing beacons that have been added to the pedestrian warning signs.
