Chapter 7: Special Signing Situations

Section 1: Overview

Introduction

This chapter describes some special applications related to the use of signs on conventional highways that are not covered in Chapters 5 or 6. Many of these signs are common signs, but do not fall into a typical highway intersection category. Therefore, they are discussed in this chapter, which covers special signing applications.
This chapter contains numerous drawings that illustrate some of the unique situations that are common. The situations are divided into the following general categories:
  • Divided Highway Intersections and Crossovers
  • Overlapping Routes
  • Road Ends
  • Interchange Applications
  • Lane-Drop Applications
  • Divided Highway Transitions.
