The WILDLIFE VIEWING AREA signing should correspond to the directions given in

.

The 48 × 30 inch WILDLIFE VIEWING AREA (D7-13T) sign should be placed at the nearest major intersection, and the 18 × 18 inch binocular-logo (D7-12T) sign with supplemental arrow plaque should be used as necessary.

For sites on TxDOT right-of-way, the actual site location may be signed with the binocular logo. Signing should

be used in locations where stopping to view wildlife could be hazardous. Signing required at off-right-of-way locations is financed and installed by others.

Many of the locations named in

A Texas Guide to Wildlife Watching

are state parks or other identifiable areas that may already be signed. In these cases, no additional signs are necessary. The existing guide signing for these areas, together with the guide directions, should normally suffice for guiding the motorist to these viewing areas.
