Section 2D.11 - Design of Route Signs

DELETE Paragraphs 01,10,11, and the last sentence of Paragraph 13.

INSERT the following paragraphs:

Standard:

00A The "Standard Highway Signs and Markings" book (see Section 1A.11 ) shall be used for the design of route signs. The designs of other route signs shall be established by the authority having jurisdiction, subject to review and approval of the New York State Department of Transportation.

Standard:

09A The design of New York State Route (NYM3-1, NYM3-2, and NYM3-3) signs shall be as provided in Sign Drawing SD-G11.

09B The design of New York State Route signs when they are used as components of guide signs shall conform to the guidance provided in Paragraph 12.

Standard:

13A The design of the three-digit County Route (NYM4-2) sign shall be as provided in Sign Drawing SD-G11.

Guidance:

17A Route sign sizes should be determined in accordance with Table 2D-101.

Option:

17B Highway Facility (NYM5-1) signs (see Sign Drawing SD-G12) may be used to guide traffic to and along named highway facilities such as tunnels, bridges, and expressways.

Support:

17C The use of Highway Facility signs is restricted to cases where the facility name or emblem provides genuine navigation information (e.g., Holland Tunnel). Highway Facility signs are for use in combinations and assemblies in the same manner as numbered route signs and within the faces of destination signs. Discussions of numbered route sign application also pertain to highway facility sign application.

Guidance:

17D Where a facility has both a name and route number, the numbered route sign should be used as the primary means of guidance.

Option:

17E Where a facility has both a name and route number, the Highway Facility sign may be used to supplement the numbered route sign.

Standard:

17F Highway Facility signs shall not be used for other than highway facilities. The design of all Highway Facility signs shall be subject to the review and approval of the New York State Department of Transportation.
