Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
Standard:
01 Except as provided in Paragraph 2, pavement markings extended into or continued through an intersection or interchange area shall be the same color and at least the same width as the line markings they extend (see Figure 3B-13).
Option:
02 A normal line may be used to extend a wide line through an intersection.
Guidance:
03 (DE Revision) Where highway design or reduced visibility conditions make it desirable to provide control or to guide vehicles through an intersection or interchange, such as at offset, skewed, complex, or multi-legged intersections, on curved roadways, where multiple turn lanes are used, or where offset left turn lanes might cause driver confusion, dotted line extension markings consisting of 2-foot line segments and 6-foot gaps should be used to extend longitudinal line markings through an intersection or interchange area.
Option:
04 Dotted edge line extensions may be placed through intersections or major driveways.
Guidance:
05 Where greater restriction is required, solid lane lines or channelizing lines should be extended into or continued through intersections or major driveways.
Standard:
06 Solid lines shall not be used to extend edge lines into or through intersections or major driveways.
Guidance:
07 Where a double line is extended through an intersection, a single line of equal width to one of the lines of the double line should be used.
08 To the extent possible, pavement marking extensions through intersections should be designed in a manner that minimizes potential confusion for drivers in adjacent or opposing lanes.
