Next X Exits signs are addressed in Section 2E.39 of the Texas MUTCD.
Design and Application.
 Minimum letter and numeral sizes (as listed in Table 2E-2.1 of the Texas MUTCD) are as follows:
  • Place name: 13.3 inches.
  • Next X Exits: 10 inches.
The sign legend should identify the region or area followed by the words Next X Exits.
All exits included within the numeral selected should provide a reasonably good and direct route to the central business district.
No exit included within the numeral should result in back-signing or back-tracking to reach the central business district.
The numeral should not exceed 4 exits. When numerals get larger than 4, the value of the sign for guiding traffic is reduced.
