Figure 2E-42. Examples of General Service Signs (with Exit Numbering)

This figure shows four examples of general service signs with exit numbering. The signs are shown as horizontal rectangular blue signs with white borders and lettering.

D9-18a is shown as a horizontal rectangular sign with the words "FOOD - PHONE," "GAS - LODGING," "HOSPITAL," and "CAMPING" displayed on four lines. A smaller horizontal rectangular sign is shown mounted above the top right of this sign with the words "EXIT 55."

A second D9-18a sign is shown below that, separated by the word "OR." The second D9-18a is the same as the first except the words “24-HR PHARMACY” are shown on the third line instead of “HOSPITAL”, the word “HOSPITAL” is shown on the bottom line instead of “CAMPING”, and the smaller horizontal rectangular sign shown mounted above the top right of the sign is shown with the words "EXIT 38" instead of "EXIT 55."

D9-18 is shown as a horizontal rectangular sign with symbols of a gas pump, vertical fork and knife on a plate, and stylized symbol of a person in a bed on the top line, and symbols of a telephone receiver, large letter "H," and tent on the bottom line. A smaller horizontal rectangular sign is shown mounted above the top right of this sign with the words "EXIT 55." An E2-3 plaque is shown centered under the D9-18 sign. It is shown as a small horizontal rectangular sign with the words "1/2 MILE."

A second D9-18 sign is shown below that, separated by the word "OR." The second D9-18 is the same as the first except that an "Rx" symbol (identical to that of the D9-20 sign in Figure 2D-11) with the words “24 HR” immediately under it is shown in the bottom right of the sign instead of a tent symbol, and the smaller horizontal rectangular sign shown mounted above the top right of the sign is shown with the words "EXIT 38" instead of "EXIT 55."
