Figure 8B-3. Crossbuck Assembly with a YIELD or STOP Sign on a Separate Sign Support (Sheet 1 of 2)
This figure shows two examples of how a YIELD sign is mounted separately but next to a Crossbuck sign.
The first example shows the signs in a rural area. It shows a YIELD sign mounted on a sign support to the right of a traveled way. An optional red retroreflective strip shown as a dimension of 2 inches wide is shown attached on the front of the sign support. The base of the sign is shown as a dimensioned distance of 5 ft MIN. from the ground. The left edge of the sign is shown as a dimensioned distance of 6 ft MIN from the near edge of the traveled way.
An R15-1 Crossbuck sign with the words "RAILROAD CROSSING" and mounted on a sign support is shown to the right of the YIELD sign. The left arms of the Crossbuck sign are shown overhanging the YIELD sign with a dimensioned distance of 2 inches MIN. between the top of the YIELD sign and the bottom of the arm of the Crossbuck sign. The Crossbuck sign is shown with a white retroreflective strip at a dimensioned width of 2 inches attached on the front and back of the sign support at a dimensioned distance of 2 ft MAX from the ground.
The second example shows the signs in an area with pedestrian movements or parking. It shows a taller YIELD sign mounted on a sign support to the right of a curb. A red retroreflective strip shown as a dimension of 2 inches wide is shown attached on the front of the sign support. The base of the sign is shown as a dimensioned distance of 7 ft MIN. from the ground. The left edge of the sign is shown as a dimensioned distance of 2 ft MIN from the near edge of the face of the curb.
An R15-1 Crossbuck sign with the words "RAILROAD CROSSING" and mounted on a sign support is shown to the right of the YIELD sign. The left arms of the Crossbuck sign are shown a dimensioned distance of 2 inches MIN. to the right of the YIELD sign. The Crossbuck sign is shown with a white retroreflective strip at a dimensioned width of 2 inches attached on the front and back of the sign support at a dimensioned distance of 2 ft MAX from the ground.
Notes state: "YIELD signs are used only at passive crossings. Place the face of the signs in the same plane and place the YIELD sign closest to the traveled way. Provide a 2-inch minimum separation between the edge of the Crossbuck sign and the edge of the YIELD sign."
