			 Interstates, Freeways and Expressways must be installed between the preceding
			 Interchange and at least 800 feet in advance of the exit direction sign and

			 All spacing between signs must be determined on the basis of an engineering
			 study.

			 Interstate highway and a fully access controlled Freeway, or an Interchange
			 between Interstate highways.
