Section 4: Recreational and Cultural Interest Area Signs (White on Brown)

Introduction

Recreational and cultural interests are attractions or traffic generators that are open to the general public for the purpose of play, amusement, or relaxation. Where recreational and cultural-interest areas are a significant destination on a numbered highway route, special signs may be posted for such areas (see Figure 3‑14 for example). These signs may be used on freeways where there is direct access to these areas.

Figure 3-14. Recreational Area guide signs.

Recreational and Cultural Interest Area signs are addressed in Chapter 2H of the Texas MUTCD.

Design and Application

White-on-brown Supplemental guide signs may be used to direct users to recreational or cultural interest areas.

When a recreational or cultural interest destination is paired with a city or street destination the sign shall be white on green.

Letter style and minimum letter-numeral sizes should be consistent with standard white-on-green Advance Guide, Exit Direction, and supplemental signs.

The background color of the Interchange Exit Number panel must match the background color of the guide sign. A brown panel should not be included within the border of a green or blue sign.

All Exit Gore signs must remain white on green.
