Figure 7B-4. In-Street Signs in School Areas

This figure illustrates the use of in-street signs in school areas.

A sign assembly composed of two signs is shown for use in advance of the school crossing. The sign assembly is shown composed of an S1-1 and W16-9p sign. An asterisk is shown to the right of both signs.

S1-1 is shown as an upward-pointing pentagon-shaped yellow sign with a black border and black symbols of two left-facing children walking.

W16-9p is shown as a horizontal rectangular yellow plaque with a black border and the word "AHEAD" in black.

Three sign assemblies are shown for use at the school crossing.

The first sign assembly is shown composed of an S4-3 and R1-6 sign.

S4-3 is shown as a horizontal rectangular fluorescent yellow-green plaque with a black border and the word "SCHOOL" in black.

R1-6 is shown as a vertical rectangular fluorescent yellow-green sign with the words "STATE LAW" in black on two lines above a white panel with a Yield sign above the word "TO" in black above a black walking person symbol. Below this panel, the words "WITHIN CROSSWALK" are shown in black on two lines at the bottom of the sign.

To the right of this sign assembly, the word "OR" is shown and a second sign assembly. This sign assembly is shown as the same as the first except with an R1-6a sign instead of R1-6.

R1-6a is shown as the same as R1-6 except a Stop sign is shown on the panel instead of a Yield sign.

To the right of this sign assembly, the word "OR" is shown and a third sign assembly. This sign assembly is shown composed of an S1-1 sign and a W16-7p sign. An asterisk is shown to the right of both signs.

Below the S1-1 sign, W16-7p is shown as a horizontal rectangular yellow plaque with a black border and a diagonal black arrow pointing down and to the right. An asterisk is shown to the right of both signs.

An asterisk is shown to the left of the note "Reduced size signs: S1-1 300 x 300 mm (12 x 12 in), W16-7p 300 x 150 mm (12 x 6 in)."
