					 approach lane. It shall also be used where there is more than one approach lane
					 if a single clearance applicable to all approach lanes is to be indicated.
					 Where used, the NYR5-6 sign shall be placed on, or immediately in advance of,
					 the bridge or elevated structure.
04 The NYR5-7 sign shall be used where there is more than
					 one approach lane, and there is a significant difference in clearance between
					 any two of the lanes. Where used, the NYR5-7 sign shall be mounted over each
					 lane having a measured clearance less than 14 feet, and shall be placed on, or
