Figure 2D-6. Illustration of Directional Assemblies and Other Route Signs (For One Direction of Travel Only) (Sheet 3 of 3)
  1. Sheet 3 of the figure shows three highway intersections. Notes state "Lettering on Destination and Distance signs may be in all capital letters or a combination of upper-case and lower-case letters (see Section 2D.05)." and "See Sections 2D.28 through 2D.31 and Section 2D.35 for low-speed and/or urban conditions."
    1. At the top left side of the sheet, a highway is shown running vertically labeled "U.S. ROUTE 86" and intersecting with a T intersection a highway running horizontally labeled "STATE ROUTE 4" to the left and "U.S. ROUTE 86" and "STATE ROUTE 4" to the right. The words "TRAFFIC SIGNAL" are shown in the middle of the intersection. This figure shows the vertical and horizontal two-lane roadways with one lane of traffic in each direction. Near the intersection, the opposing lanes are shown separated by a solid double yellow line. Farther away from the intersection, the opposing lanes in each direction are shown separated from each other by a broken yellow line. Solid white stop lines are shown across the approach lane on each side of the intersection. The direction of travel is from the bottom to the top of the figure and then to the right. There are six sign assemblies shown on the vertical and horizontal highways, all shown on the right side of the highways:
      • At the bottom of the figure a white horizontal rectangular white sign with the word "JCT" in black is mounted above a square black state route sign with the numeral "4" in black. The distance from the near side of the intersection to this sign is shown as a dimension of not less than 180 m (600 ft).
      • Further up the page, a sign assembly is shown with a horizontal rectangular white sign with the word "EAST" in black mounted above a square black U.S. Route marker with the number "86" in black mounted above a horizontal rectangular white sign with a black arrow at a 90-degree angle pointing up and to the right. The distance from the near side of the intersection to this sign is shown as a dimension of not less than 120 m (400 ft). Farther up the page, a horizontal rectangular green sign is shown with a left-pointing horizontal white arrow to the left of the word "MILTON" in white on the top line and the words "WHITE OAK" in white to the left of a right-pointing horizontal white arrow on the bottom line. The distance from the near side of the intersection to this sign is shown as a dimension of not less than 60 m (200 ft).
      • Just prior to the intersection, at the start of the corner radius, a sign assembly is shown composed of one assembly mounted above two others. On top, a horizontal rectangular white sign with the word "EAST" in black is mounted above a square black U.S. Route marker with the numeral "86" in black mounted above horizontal rectangular white sign with a right-pointing horizontal black arrow. Below this assembly are two signs. On the left, a horizontal rectangular white sign is shown with the word "WEST" in black mounted above a square black state route sign with the numeral "4" mounted above a horizontal rectangular white sign with a left-pointing horizontal black arrow. On the right, the same sign assembly is shown but substituting the word "EAST" and a right-pointing horizontal arrow.
      • On the right side of the horizontal highway, a sign assembly is shown composed of a horizontal rectangular white sign with the word "EAST" in black mounted above a square black U.S. Route marker with the number "86" in black. These signs are shown mounted to the left of a horizontal rectangular white sign with the word "EAST" in black mounted above a square black state route sign with the number "4" in black. The distance from the near side of the intersection to this sign assembly is shown as a dimension of 7.6 to 60 m (25 to 200 ft).
      • Farther to the right, a horizontal rectangular green sign is shown with the words "WHITE OAK" in white to the left of the numeral "18" in white on the top line and the word "ONESBORO" in white to the left of the distance "30" in white on the bottom line. The distance from the near side of the intersection to this sign is shown as a dimension of not less than 90 m (800 ft).
    2. At the bottom left side of the sheet, a highway is shown running vertically labeled "U.S. ROUTES 55 AND 57" intersecting two highways at a "Y" intersection labeled "U.S. ROUTE 55" as the left fork and "U.S. ROUTE 57" as the right fork. This figure shows the vertical and horizontal two-lane roadways with one lane of traffic in each direction. Near the intersection, the opposing lanes are shown separated by a solid double yellow line. Farther away from the intersection on the vertical roadway, the opposing lanes in each direction are shown separated from each other by a broken yellow line. Solid white stop lines are shown across the approach lanes at the intersection on the vertical roadway. The direction of travel is from the bottom to the top of the figure. There are five sign assemblies shown on these highways, most to the right side of the highways:
      • At the bottom of the figure and to the right of the vertical highway, a sign assembly is shown composed of a horizontal rectangular white sign with the word "NORTH" in black mounted above a square black U.S. Route marker with the numeral "55" in black above a horizontal rectangular white sign with a vertical black arrow curving up and to the left. To its right, the same sign assembly is shown substituting "57" and an arrow curving to the right. The distance from the near side of the fork in the highway to this sign assembly is shown as a dimension of not less than 120 m (400 ft).
      • Just prior to the junction of the forks and to the right of the vertical highway, a horizontal rectangular green sign is shown with a diagonal white arrow pointing up and to the left to the left of the word "ZION" and the numeral "6" in white on the top line. The word "PARIS" to the left of the numeral "8" in white and a diagonal white arrow pointing up and to the right are shown on the bottom line.
      • On the gore between the forks, a sign assembly is shown facing the direction of travel on the vertical highway. On the left, a horizontal rectangular white sign with the word "NORTH" in black is above a square black U.S. Route marker with the numeral "55" in black above a horizontal rectangular white sign with a diagonal black arrow pointing up and to the left. On the right, the same sign assembly is shown substituting the numeral "57" and a diagonal arrow pointing up and to the right. Above this sign assembly is the notation "Enlarged, if necessary."
      • On the right fork of the highway, a sign assembly is shown to the right of the highway with a horizontal rectangular white sign with the word "NORTH" in black above a square black U.S. Route marker with the numeral "57" in black. The distance from the near side of the intersection to this sign assembly is shown as a dimension of 7.6 to 60 m (25 to 200 ft).
      • Beyond this sign assembly on the right fork of the highway, a horizontal rectangular green sign is shown with the word "PARIS" in white to the left of the numeral "8" in white on the top line and the word "CONCORD" in white to the left of the numeral "21" in white on the second line. The distance from the near side of the intersection to this sign assembly is shown as a dimension of 90 m (300 ft) +.
    3. On the right side of the sheet, a highway is shown running vertically and labeled "U.S. ROUTE 55" and intersecting a street labeled "LINDA ST." running horizontally. This figure shows the vertical two-lane roadway with one lane of traffic in each direction. Near the intersection, the opposing lanes are shown separated by a solid double yellow line. Farther away from the intersection, the opposing lanes in each direction are shown separated from each other by a broken yellow line. The direction of travel is from the bottom to the top of the figure. There are three sign assemblies on these highways, all shown to the right side of the highways:
      • At the bottom of the figure, a sign assembly is shown composed of a yellow diamond-shaped sign with a black vertical line intersecting a black horizontal line mounted above a horizontal rectangular yellow sign with the words "LINDA ST" in black. The distance from the near side of the intersection to this sign assembly is shown as a dimension marked with an asterisk. A note below this sign assembly states "*See Table 2C-4 for distance."
      • Farther up the page, a horizontal rectangular green sign is shown with a left-pointing horizontal white arrow to the left of the word "YORK" and the numeral "1" in white. The distance from the near side of the intersection to the this sign assembly is shown as a dimension of not less than 60 m (1200 ft).
      • At the top of the figure, beyond the intersection, a horizontal rectangular white sign with the word "NORTH" in black is shown mounted above a square black U.S. Route marker with the numeral "55" in black. The distance from the far side of the intersection to this sign assembly is shown as a dimension of 7.6 to 60 m (25 to 200 ft).
