Figure 2E-1. Example of Guide Sign Spreading
This figure shows an example of guide sign spreading.
The illustration shows one direction of a highway with an exit
ramp and entrance ramp to and from a road (labeled "State Route
27") that overpasses the highway (one-half of a diamond-type
interchange).
The figure shows a sign labeled "A" located over the
exit ramp at the point where the exit ramp diverges from the highway.
A note adjacent to sign location "A" indicates "Cantilever
(Theoretical Gore)." The figure also shows a sign labeled "B"
mounted on the overpass bridge, facing traffic on the highway.
The sign labeled "A" is shown as a horizontal rectangular
green sign with white letters and border. It is shown with the black
numerals "27" on a white rectangular background on the
top line and the word "Bowie" to the left of a diagonal
arrow pointing up and to the right on the bottom line. A smaller
horizontal rectangular green plaque with white letters and border
is shown above the top right of the sign and shows the words "EXIT
7."
The sign labeled "B" is shown as a horizontal rectangular
green sign with white letters and border. It is shown with the black
numerals "50" on a white U.S. route shield on the top
line, the word "Trenton" on the middle line, and the words
"1 MILE" on the bottom line. A smaller horizontal rectangular
green plaque with white letters and border is shown above the top
right of the sign and shows the words "EXIT 8."
