Districts should make sure signing is compatible with the information shown on travel maps issued by TxDOT. On these travel maps, each park is listed and a “near city” is shown. Therefore, as a minimum, each park should be signed from the “near city” without regard to distance, number of routes, or annual attendance. This signing should originate on the closest major route (or routes) in the “near cities.”

Because of park attendance or other factors, signing for a park may extend beyond the “near city.” In addition, if a more direct route to the park is available from a location other than the “near city,” signing from this location is also encouraged.
