Figure 2E-10. Diagrammatic Guide Signs for a Split with an Option Lane
This figure shows diagrammatic guide signs for a split with an option lane.
The figure shows segments of one direction of a vertical highway labeled I-50 at the bottom of the figure, depicted with three lanes, with the travel direction from the bottom to the top of the figure. At the bottom of the figure, the lanes are separated from each other by broken white lines. The broken white line between the center and right lanes is then shown changing to a dotted wide white line. Near the top of the figure, the highway is shown with a Y-shaped divergence of two lanes to the left fork (labeled I-50) and two lanes to the right fork (labeled I-79). The center lane divides, and this lane and the right lane (labeled I-79) are shown separated by a solid wide white line and curving to the right. The left lane and part of the center lane (labeled I-50) are shown curving left and are shown separated by broken white lines.
Six horizontal rectangular green signs and sign assemblies with white legends and borders are shown along the highway, as well as two Interstate route sign assemblies.
The first sign assembly is shown near the bottom of the figure where the lanes are divided by broken white lines. It is shown to the right of the highway. It is shown with a plan view of the Y-shaped highway divergence in the middle of the sign, consisting of a two-headed arrow with the two arrow shafts emanating from a combined base, with one shaft curving upward to the left and the other curving upward and to the right. Each shaft is shown with a dashed green line along the middle of the shaft from the base to the start of the arrowhead. Directly below the base of the arrow shafts, the words "2 MILES" are shown:
- To the left of the plan view, on the top line, the word "WEST" is shown to the left of a red and blue Interstate route shield on which the white numerals "50" are shown, and the words "La Salle" are shown on the bottom line.
- To the right of the plan view, on the top line, a red and blue Interstate route shield is shown on which the white numerals "79" are shown to the left of the word "NORTH," and the word "Daly" is shown on the bottom line.
- A smaller horizontal rectangular green plaque is shown above the top right side of the sign. It shows the words "EXIT 55."
Just north of the first sign assembly, the broken white line between the center and right lanes is shown changing to a wide dotted white line. The same sign assembly is shown further north on the highway beyond this point. It is shown extending over all three lanes of the highway. The sign assembly is the same as the first, except the distance on the third line of the sign is shown as "1 MILE" instead of "2 MILES."
North of the third sign assembly, the dotted wide white line between the center and right lanes is shown changing to a solid wide white line. The same sign assembly is shown again further north of this point. The sign assembly is the same as the first, except without any distance on the third line of the sign.
At the theoretical gore, a sign assembly is shown located over the highway. The assembly consists of two signs in a horizontal array:
- The left sign is shown located above the broken white line that separates the left and center lanes. It shows, on the top line, the word "WEST" to the left of a red and blue Interstate route shield on which the white numerals "50" are shown, the words "La Salle" on the middle line, and two diagonal white arrows pointing up and to the left on the bottom line.
- The right sign is shown located above the solid white line that separates the center and right lanes. It shows, on the top line, a red and blue Interstate route shield on which the white numerals "79" are shown to the left of the word "NORTH," the word "Daly" on the middle line, and a horizontal rectangular yellow panel with a black border and legend on the bottom line. A short diagonal black arrow pointing up and to the right is shown to the left of the words "EXIT ONLY" to the left of another short diagonal black arrow pointing up and to the right on the yellow panel.
- A smaller horizontal rectangular green plaque is shown above the top right side of the sign. It shows the words "EXIT 55."
A horizontal rectangular green sign with a white border and legend is shown in the gore between the right and left forking lanes. The sign shows the word "EXIT" on the top line above the numeral "55" to the left of a short diagonal arrow pointing up and to the right.
Along the right fork, a sign assembly is shown to the right of the highway. It is shown as a red and blue Interstate route shield on which the white numeral "79" is shown. Above it, a plaque is shown with the word "NORTH" in white letters and a white border on a blue background.
Along the left fork, a sign is shown to the right of the highway. It is shown as a red and blue Interstate route shield on which the white numeral "50" is shown. Above it, a plaque is shown with the word "WEST" in white letters and a white border on a blue background.
