Section 2C.10 - Combination Horizontal Alignment/Advisory Speed Signs (W1-1a, W1-2a)
Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
Option:
01 The Turn (W1-1) sign or the Curve (W1-2) sign may be combined with the Advisory Speed (W13-1P) plaque (see Section 2C.08) to create a combination Turn/Advisory Speed (W1-1a) sign or combination Curve/Advisory Speed (W1-2a) sign (see Figure 2C-1).
02 The combination Horizontal Alignment/Advisory Speed sign may be used to supplement the advance Horizontal Alignment warning sign and Advisory Speed plaque based upon an engineering study.
Standard:
03 If used, the combination Horizontal Alignment/Advisory Speed sign shall not be used alone and shall not be used as a substitute for a Horizontal Alignment warning sign and Advisory Speed plaque at the advance warning location. The combination Horizontal Alignment/Advisory Speed sign shall only be used as a supplement to the advance Horizontal Alignment warning sign. If used, the combination Horizontal Alignment/Advisory Speed sign shall be installed at the beginning of the turn or curve.
Guidance:
04 The advisory speed displayed on the combination Horizontal Alignment/Advisory Speed sign should be based on the advisory speed for the horizontal curve using recommended engineering practices (see Section 2C.08).
Table 2C-6. Typical Spacing of Chevron
Alignment Signs on Horizontal Curves
Advisory Speed | Curve Radius | Sign Spacing |
15 mph or less | Less than 200 feet | 40 feet |
20 to 30 mph | 200 to 400 feet | 80 feet |
35 to 45 mph | 401 to 700 feet | 120 feet |
50 to 60 mph | 701 to 1,250 feet | 160 feet |
More than 60 mph | More than 1,250 feet | 200 feet |
Note: The relationship between the curve radius and the advisory speed shown in this table should not be used to determine the advisory speed.
