Figure 2H-4. Examples of Symbol Signing Layout

This figure illustrates examples of symbol signing layout within a recreational or cultural area. A plan view area map is shown of Cedar Springs marina, depicting a main road at the bottom of the figure, a marina complex entry road that leads into the marina complex from the main roadway, and internal roadways and facilities within the marina complex.

On the main road, a horizontal rectangular brown guide sign is shown on each right-hand side of the road in advance of the intersection with the marina complex entry road, displaying the words "CEDAR SPRINGS" on the first line and a marine recreation area symbol sign (anchor enclosed within a square white border) and a horizontal arrow pointing into the area on the second line.

At the intersection of the marina complex entry road and an internal access road to the right toward a campground, a sign assembly is shown at the near right corner of the intersection, facing traffic entering the complex. This assembly is shown with a camping symbol sign mounted above a trailer symbol sign, which is above a right-pointing horizontal arrow sign.

The entry road is shown continuing and curving up and to the left and intersecting an access road on the left that leads to a parking area, amphitheater, and information center. A sign assembly is shown on the right side of the entry road on the near side of the intersection with this access road. The left portion of the sign assembly is composed of an information symbol sign (question mark enclosed within a square white border) mounted above a square plaque with the words "VISITOR INFO" on two lines, which is above a left-pointing horizontal arrow sign. The right portion of the sign assembly is shown composed of an amphitheater symbol sign mounted above a parking symbol sign ("P"), which is above a left-pointing horizontal arrow sign. On the access road at the entrance to the parking area, a vertical rectangular sign is shown that includes a parking symbol ("P" enclosed within a square white border) on the top portion of the sign and a smaller amphitheater symbol (enclosed within a square white border) and a right-pointing horizontal arrow on the bottom portion of the sign.

The marina complex entry road is shown continuing to curve to the left and down toward another parking area. It is shown intersecting a road to the right that is labeled "Launch Ramp." At the intersection with the Launch Ramp, a sign assembly is shown on the right side of the entry road at the near side of the intersection. The left side of this assembly is shown composed of a picnic area symbol sign, parking symbol sign ("P"), and upward-pointing vertical arrow sign. The right side of this assembly is shown composed of a launch ramp symbol sign and a right-pointing horizontal arrow sign.

The marina complex entry road is shown continuing downward past the Launch Ramp and ending as it enters a parking area. A narrower roadway or path is shown leading out of the parking lot and past a picnic area to a beach. In front of the beach, facing the narrower roadway or path a swimming symbol sign is shown.
