Sign Design
The standard D9-2 hospital symbol sign should be used to sign
for qualifying licensed general hospitals. If supplemental freeway
signing is used, the sign shall be fabricated as per freeway signing standards
in the SHSD.
Sign assemblies on conventional roads should consist of the
D9-2 hospital symbol sign and the Arrow Auxiliary (M6-series) plaque
to indicate the direction to the services. A distance plaque may also
be used if necessary.
The name of the hospital is not included on the sign in order
to provide a fair and consistent treatment of all eligible hospitals
as well as providing uniform signing for hospitals throughout the state.
