Standard:
01 Pathway grade crossing signs shall be standard in shape, legend, and color.
02 Traffic control devices mounted adjacent to pathways at a height of less than 8 feet measured vertically from the bottom edge of the device to the elevation of the near edge of the pathway surface shall have a minimum lateral offset of 2 feet from the near edge of the device to the near edge of the pathway (see Figure 9B-1).
03 The minimum mounting height for post-mounted signs on pathways shall be 4 feet, measured vertically from the bottom edge of the sign to the elevation of the near edge of the pathway surface (see Figure 9B-1).
04 Pathway grade crossing traffic control devices shall be located a minimum of 12 feet from the center of the nearest track.
05 The minimum sizes of pathway grade crossing signs shall be as shown in the shared-use path column in Table 9B-1.
06 When overhead traffic control devices are used on pathways, the clearance from the bottom edge of the device to the pathway surface directly under the sign or device shall be at least 8 feet.
Guidance:
07 If pathway users include those who travel faster than pedestrians, such as bicyclists or skaters, the use of warning signs and pavement markings in advance of the pathway grade crossing (see Figure 8D-1) should be considered.
