Junction Sign (Texas MUTCD 2D.13 and 2D.14)

Purpose:
 Junction signs provide advance notice of an intersection with the indicated highway(s).
There are two different methods of indicating a junction:
  • Junction Auxiliary Sign (Texas MUTCD 2D.13):
     Most junctions are indicated with the JCT sign, as shown in Figure 3-4. The Junction sign is mounted at the top of an assembly, either directly above the route sign or above an auxiliary sign (such as BUSINESS or ALT).
  • Combination Junction Sign (Texas MUTCD 2D.14):
     Some junctions may require the use of a combination junction sign, as shown in Figure 3-5. The combination sign contains the word JUNCTION at the top of the sign and the appropriate route signs below. Other information may also be included in the combination sign, such as the cardinal direction, arrows, destination cities, and distance to the junction.
Where shields are used in a Combination Junction sign, they shall mimic the shields used on large ground mounted guide signs (route signs for guide sign mounting).
The Junction Assembly subsection (page 3-28) contains additional information about junction signing and provides additional examples of junction signing.
