Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
Support:
01 There are two types of reference location signs:
Option:
02 Reference Location (D10-1 to D10-3) signs (see Figure 9B-4) may be installed along any section of a shared-use path to assist users in estimating their progress, to provide a means for identifying the location of emergency incidents and crashes, and to aid in maintenance and servicing.
03 To augment the reference location sign system, Intermediate Reference Location (D10-1a to D10-3a) signs (see Figure 9B-4), which show the tenth of a mile with a decimal point, may be installed at one tenth of a mile intervals, or at some other regular spacing.
Standard:
04 If Intermediate Reference Location (D10-1a to D10-3a) signs are used to augment the reference location sign system, the reference location sign at the integer mile point shall display a decimal point and a zero numeral.
05 If placed on shared-use paths, reference location signs shall contain 4.5-inch white numerals on a green background that is at least 6 inches wide with a white border. The signs shall contain the word MILE in 2.25-inch white letters.
06 Reference location signs shall have a minimum mounting height of 2 feet, measured vertically from the bottom of the sign to the elevation of the near edge of the shared-use path, and shall not be governed by the mounting height requirements prescribed in Section 9B.01.
Option:
07 Reference location signs may be installed on one side of the shared-use path only and may be installed back-to-back.
08 If a reference location sign cannot be installed in the correct location, it may be moved in either direction as much as 50 feet.
Guidance:
09 If a reference location sign cannot be placed within 50 feet of the correct location, it should be omitted.
10 Zero distance should begin at the south and west terminus points of shared-use paths.
Support:
11 Section 2H.05 contains additional information regarding reference location signs.
