Section III-504 - Location and Number of TODS on Conventional Highways

A. General. On conventional highways, TODS may be authorized for eligible attractions, directing motorists from the nearest arterial highway from each approach to the attraction for a distance not to exceed 15 road miles.

B. Sign Location. Sign assemblies should be placed far enough in advance of the intersection to allow time for the necessary maneuver. A minimum of 200 feet should be maintained between all signs.

C. Maximum Number of Signs. A maximum of six attractions will be authorized for signs on any approach to an intersection.

D. Sign Assemblies. TOD signs should normally be installed as independent sign assemblies as follows.

1. Signs shall be installed on one sign assembly with the signs with arrows pointing to the left above those pointing to the right. If any straight ahead arrows are authorized, as in the case where the road turns and the attraction's access is straight ahead, the sign for that attraction shall be installed above any signs for attractions to the left or right.

2. If more than six attractions qualify at a given location priority will be given to the closest attraction. Once an attraction has been signed it has priority over subsequent attractions which are closer.

3. If more than one attraction exists in a given direction, the signs for the closer attraction should be above the more distant attractions.
