2 Del. Admin. Code § 2E.40

Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 5, November 1, 2024
Section 2E.40 - Interchange Sequence Signs

Option:

01 If interchanges are closely spaced, particularly through large urban areas, so that guide signs cannot be adequately spaced, Interchange Sequence signs identifying the next two or three interchanges may be used.

Guidance:

02 If used, Interchange Sequence signs should be used over the entire length of a route in an urban area. Except as provided in Paragraph 3, they should not be used on a single interchange basis.
03 If there is less than 800 feet between interchanges, Interchange Sequence signs should be used instead of the Advance Guide signs for the affected interchanges.

Support:

04 Interchange Sequence signs are generally supplemental to Advance Guide signs. Signing of this type is illustrated in Figures 2E-30 and 2E-31, and is compatible with the sign spreading concept described in Paragraph 3 of Section 2E.11.
05 These signs are installed in a series and display the next two or three interchanges by name or route number with distances to the nearest 1/4 mile.

Standard:

06 If used, the first sign in the series shall be located in advance of the first Advance Guide sign for the first interchange.
07 Where the exit direction is to the left, a LEFT (E11-2) sign panel (see Figure 2E-13) shall be displayed on the same line immediately to the right of the interchange name or route number.
08 Interchange Sequence signs shall not be substituted for Exit Direction signs.

Guidance:

09 Interchange Sequence signs should be located in the median. After the first of the series, Interchange Sequence signs should be placed approximately midway between interchanges.

Standard:

10 Interchange Sequence signs located in the median shall be installed at overhead sign height (see Section 2A.18).

Option:

11 Interchange numbers may be displayed to the left of the interchange name or route number.
