Chapter 2K - TOURIST-ORIENTED DIRECTIONAL SIGNS
Section 2K.05 - Advance Signs
Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
Guidance:
01 Advance signs should be limited to those situations where sight distance, intersection vehicle maneuvers, or other vehicle operating characteristics require advance notification of the destinations and their directions.
02 The design of the advance sign should be identical to the design of the intersection approach sign. However, the directional arrows and distances to the destinations should be omitted and the action messages NEXT RIGHT, NEXT LEFT, or AHEAD should be placed on the sign above the business identification sign panels. The action messages should have the same letter height as the other word messages on the directional sign panels (see Figures 2K-1 and 2K-2).
Standard:
03 The action message sign panels shall have a white legend in all upper-case letters and a white border on a blue background.
Option:
04 The legend RIGHT 1/2 MILE or LEFT 1/2 MILE may be used on advance signs when there are intervening minor roads.
05 The height required to add the directional word messages recommended for the advance sign may be added to the maximum sign height of 6 feet.
Guidance:
06 The optional TOURIST ACTIVITIES message, when used on an advance sign, and the action message should be combined on a single sign panel with TOURIST ACTIVITIES as the top line and the action message as the bottom line (see Figure 2K-2).
