					 intersection.
Standard:
11 A Driveway Entrance assembly shall not be used where a
					 destination sign (see Section

					 Paragraph 13.
INSERT the following paragraphs:
Standard:
00A The "Standard Highway Signs and Markings" book (see

					 other route signs shall be established by the authority having jurisdiction,
					 subject to review and approval of the New York State Department of

					 cases where the facility name or emblem provides genuine navigation information
					 (e.g., Holland Tunnel). Highway Facility signs are for use in combinations and
					 assemblies in the same manner as numbered route signs and within the faces of

INSERT the following paragraphs:
Guidance:
05A When a highway carries two or more routes, the route
					 sign combinations in the assemblies should be arranged to present a symmetrical
					 and balanced appearance to enable motorists to readily identify the route they
					 desire to follow. Each combination should stand out as a separate unit.
05B Route sign combinations in Junction, Advance Route
					 Turn, and Directional assemblies should preferably be mounted side by side
					 rather than one above the other. However, there should generally be no more
					 than three route sign combinations in the same horizontal row. Confirming and
					 Reassurance assemblies should preferably display route sign combinations one
					 above the other rather than side by side.
Option:
08A Junction, Advance Route Turn and Directional assemblies
					 may be installed overhead on the approaches to intersections (see Section 2A.17
					).
Support:
09A Figure 2D-101 shows typical types of Route Sign

INSERT the following paragraphs:
Standard:
01A A Confirming assembly shall be used on a numbered route
					 beyond each intersection (or interchange) at which the route turns. A
					 confirming assembly shall be used on a numbered route beyond each intersection
					 (or interchange) where it is intersected or joined by another numbered
					 route.
Guidance:
01B A Confirming assembly should be installed 25 to 200
					 feet beyond the far shoulder or curb line of the intersected highway.
04A Reassurance assemblies should be placed near the state
					 boundary.
Support:
04B In urban areas, Reassurance assemblies may be necessary
					 at two-block intervals, while in rural districts, spacing of one and one-half
					 miles is more appropriate.

DELETE Paragraph 04.
INSERT the following paragraphs:
Option:
02A In some cases, an action message such as "KEEP LEFT" or
					 KEEP RIGHT" may communicate direction to motorists more clearly than an arrow.
					 In such cases, an action message may be used instead of an arrow. When an
					 action message is used, one additional destination may appear on the
					 sign.
Guidance:
02B An action message should be placed below the associated
					 destination legend.
Standard:
02C When an action message is used on a destination sign,
					 and an additional destination appears, a horizontal separator line the same
					 width as the border shall separate the legends for the two destinations.
02D Where used, the action message legend shall be 4 inches
					 high where the destination legend is 6 inches high. The action message legend
					 shall be 6 inches high where the destination legend is 8 inches high. The
					 action message legend shall be 8 inches high where the destination legend is 12
					 inches high.
Guidance:
03A The use of horizontal separator lines should be limited
					 to instances where it is deemed necessary to emphasize the presence of
					 independent messages appearing on the same sign face. On most Destination
					 signs, adequate separation of destinations should be accomplished through the
					 spacing of lines of legend.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
INSERT the following paragraphs:
Support:
03A Although one Destination sign along an intersection
					 approach is usually sufficient, a series of two or more signs along a
					 multi-lane approach might better enable motorists to select the proper
					 lane.
Guidance:
03B Where a second destination sign is used along an
					 intersection approach to enable proper lane selection, it should be placed
					 between 800 and 1400 feet in advance of the intersection. Where a route sign
					 Junction assembly is used, this sign should be placed between two hundred and
					 four hundred feet in advance of the Junction assembly.
Option:
03C A supplemental Destination sign may be located on the
					 far right corner of the intersection where the approach is controlled by a stop
					 sign or flashing red signal indication. A supplemental Destination sign may be
					 located on the far side of the stem of a 'T' intersection. If longitudinal
					 space along the intersection approach is severely limited, this location may
					 also be used as an alternative to the advance location on the intersection
					 approach.

06 All Terrain Vehicle Route sign assemblies should be
					 located to clearly mark the permitted travel path. They should be placed in
					 advance of, and beyond, route turns (Directional and Confirming assemblies), at
					 intersections with other all terrain vehicle routes, and at intermediate
					 locations, as necessary. The distance between successive signs along a route
					 should be no more than 3000 feet.
Option:
07 An All Terrain Vehicle Route sign supplemented by a M6-4

					 Section
					 2M.04). Name auxiliary signs may also be used in other instances where motorist
					 guidance would be enhanced by the inclusion of a specific name in a route
					 assembly.

					 to may also be used to supplement this symbol.
Standard:
06 Name auxiliary signs shall have background and legend
					 colors that match the colors in the sign they supplement.
Guidance:
07 Shortened names and/or abbreviations ("UNIV," "COMM
					 COL," "MTN," etc.) should be employed where necessary to allow the name to be
