Chapter 2C - WARNING SIGNS AND OBJECT MARKERS
Section 2C.02 - Application of Warning Signs
Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
Standard:
01 The use of warning signs shall be based on an engineering study or on engineering judgment.
Guidance:
02 The use of warning signs should be kept to a minimum as the unnecessary use of warning signs tends to breed disrespect for all signs. In situations where the condition or activity is seasonal or temporary, the warning sign should be removed or covered when the condition or activity does not exist.
Option:
03 Consistent with the provisions of Chapter 2L, changeable message signs may be used to display a warning message.
04 Consistent with the provisions of Chapter 4L, a Warning Beacon may be used in combination with a standard warning sign.
Support:
05 The categories of warning signs are shown in Table 2C-1.
06 Warning signs provided in this Manual cover most of the conditions that are likely to be encountered. Additional warning signs for low-volume roads (as defined in Section 5A.01), temporary traffic control zones, school areas, grade crossings, and bicycle facilities are discussed in Parts 5 through 9, respectively.
07 Section 1A.09 contains information regarding the assistance that is available to jurisdictions that do not have engineers on their staffs who are trained and/or experienced in traffic control devices.
