Light Rail Station Signs are MUTCD compliant (MUTCD I-12) and use effective images for traffic and pedestrian safety concerns on highway routes. Light Rail Station Signs are helpful resources to aid in the protection of the health and safety on roads, and are not an alternative for required protective measures for eliminating or reducing hazards.
Compliance
Section 2H.02 General Information Signs (I Series)
Guidance
General Information signs should not be installed within a series of guide signs or at other equally critical locations, unless there are specific reasons for orienting the road user or identifying control points for activities that are clearly in the public interest. On all such signs, the designs should be simple and dignified, devoid of any advertising, and in general compliance with other guide signing.
Standard
Except for political boundary signs, General Information signs shall have white legends and borders on green rectangular-shaped backgrounds.
Option
An information symbol sign (I-5 through I-9) may be used to identify a route leading to a transportation or general information facility, or to provide additional guidance to the facility. The symbol sign may be supplemented by an educational plaque where necessary; also, the name of the facility may be used if needed to distinguish between similar facilities. Guide signs for commercial service airports and non-carrier airports may be provided from the nearest Interstate, other freeway, or conventional highway intersection directly to the airport, normally not to exceed 15 miles. The Airport (I-5) symbol sign along with a supplemental plaque may be used to indicate the specific name of the airport. An Airport symbol sign, with or without a supplemental name plaque or the word AIRPORT, and an arrow may be used as a trailblazer.
Standard
Adequate trailblazer signs shall be in place prior to installing the airport guide signs.
Standard
Location and placement of all airport guide signs depends upon the availability of longitudinal spacing on highways.
