Figure 2E-30. Examples of Partial Cloverleaf Interchange Guide
Signs
This figure shows 15 examples of partial cloverleaf interchange
guide signs.
The figure shows guide signs for a partial cloverleaf interchange
of I-47 and SR 24. I-47 is shown vertically, and SR 24 is shown
horizontally. At the top right of the figure, a black capital letter
"N" is shown superimposed on an upward-pointing vertical
black arrow, denoting the compass direction. At the bottom of the
figure, a note states "See Figure
2E-37 for examples of multi-lane crossroad signing for partial
cloverleaf interchanges."
A series of signs and sign assemblies are shown along the highways.
The direction of travel is from the bottom to the middle of the
figure, from the top to the middle of the figure, and from the right
to the left of the figure. Off-route movement, in all cases, is
to the right. On I-47, black dots denoting reference location signs
are depicted spaced at intervals along the route. Except as otherwise
noted, all signs are horizontal rectangular green signs with white
borders and lettering. They display a red and blue Interstate route
shield with white numerals or a white State route square with black
numerals.
On northbound I-47, three signs are shown in advance of the SR
24 overpass:
- At the bottom of the figure, the first sign is shown to the
right of the highway. It shows a white square on which the black
numerals "24" are shown on the top line, the word "Franklin"
on the middle line, and the words "2 MILES" on the bottom
line. A smaller horizontal rectangular green plaque is shown above
the top right side of the sign. It shows the words "EXIT
301." Just beyond this sign, reference location sign 299
is shown on the median between the northbound and southbound lanes.
- The second sign is shown to the right of the highway. The sign
and plaque are shown as identical to the first sign, except the
words "1 MILE" are shown on the bottom line instead
of the words "2 MILES." Just beyond this sign, reference
location sign 300 is shown on the median between the northbound
and southbound lanes. Just prior to the SR 24 overpass, reference
location sign 301 is shown on the median between the northbound
and southbound lanes.
- The third sign is shown located over the highway on the overpass
where SR 24 crosses over I-47. The sign and plaque are shown as
identical to the first sign, except the words "2 MILES"
are deleted and a diagonal arrow pointing up and to the right
is shown to the right of the word "Franklin."
On southbound I-47, six signs are shown in advance of the SR 24
overpass:
- At the top of the figure, the first sign is shown to the right
of the highway at the point where reference location sign 304
is shown on the median between the northbound and southbound lanes.
The sign shows a white square on which the black numerals "24"
are shown on the top line, the word "Franklin" on the
middle line, and the words "2 MILES" on the bottom line.
A smaller horizontal rectangular green plaque is shown above the
top right side of the sign. It shows the words "EXIT 301."
- The second sign is shown to the right of the highway at the
point where reference location sign 303 is shown on the median
between the northbound and southbound lanes. The sign and plaque
are shown as identical to the first sign, except the words "1
MILE" are shown on the bottom line instead of the words "2
MILES."
- The third sign is shown to the right of the highway at the point
where reference location sign 302 is shown on the median between
the northbound and southbound lanes. The sign and plaque are shown
as identical to the first sign, except the words "2 MILES"
are deleted and a diagonal arrow pointing up and to the right
is shown to the right of the word "Franklin."
- The fourth sign shows the word "EXIT" on the top line
and the numerals "301" on the bottom line to the left
of a diagonal arrow pointing up and to the right. This sign is
shown in the gore between the through lanes and the right-hand
exit ramp to SR 24. It also is shown in the gore between the through
lanes and the right-hand exit ramp from northbound I-47 to SR
24.
- The fifth sign is shown on the cloverleaf exit ramp from northbound
I-47 to SR 24 just prior to its intersection with SR 24. It shows
the word "Franklin" to the left of a horizontal arrow
pointing to the right.
- The sixth sign is shown on the exit ramp from southbound I-47
to SR 24 just prior to its intersection with SR 24. It shows the
word "Franklin" to the left of a horizontal arrow pointing
to the right.
On westbound SR 24, six signs or sign assemblies are shown:
- At the right side of the figure, the first sign is shown to
the right of the highway. It is shown as a red and blue Interstate
route shield for I-47. Above it, a plaque is shown with the word
"JCT" in white letters and a white border on a blue
background.
- The second sign is shown to the right of the highway. It is
shown with an upward-pointing vertical arrow to the left of the
word "Morton" in the top half of the sign above a horizontal
white dividing line, separating the sign into two halves. The
word "Jackson" is shown to the left of a horizontal
arrow pointing to the right in the bottom half of the sign.
- The third and fourth signs are shown to the right of the highway
just prior to the first exit ramp to I-47. They are shown as a
sign assembly in a horizontal array. The sign on the left is shown
as a red and blue Interstate route shield for I-47. Above it,
a plaque is shown with the word "SOUTH" in white letters
and a white border on a blue background. Below it, a plaque is
shown with an upward-pointing vertical white arrow and white border
on a blue background. The sign on the right is shown as the same
I-47 shield and two plaques, except the word on the top plaque
is shown as "NORTH" instead of "SOUTH" and
the arrow on the bottom plaque is shown pointing to the right
instead of straight up.
- The fifth sign is shown to the right of highway just prior to
the point where SR 24 passes over I-47. It is shown as identical
to the third plaque, except the arrow on the bottom plaque is
shown as a right angle pointing up and to the right.
- The sixth sign is shown to the right of the highway just prior
to the second exit ramp to I-47. It shows the red and blue Interstate
route shield for I-47 to the left of the word "SOUTH"
on the top line, the word "Morton" on the second line,
and a horizontal arrow pointing to the right on the third line.
