Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
Option:
01 Where the distance to the next interchange is unusually long, a Next Exit plaque (see Figure 2E-23) may be installed to inform road users of the distance to the next interchange.
Guidance:
02 The Next Exit plaque should not be used unless the distance between successive interchanges is more than 5 miles.
Standard:
03 The Next Exit plaque shall carry the legend NEXT EXIT XX MILES. If the Next Exit plaque is used, it shall be placed below the Advance Guide sign nearest the interchange. It shall be mounted so as to not adversely affect the breakaway feature of the sign support structure.
Option:
04 The legend for the Next Exit plaque may be displayed in either one or two lines as shown in Figure 2E-23.
Support:
05 The one-line message on the Next Exit plaque is the more desirable choice unless the message causes the sign to have a horizontal dimension greater than that of the Advance Guide sign.
