Section 2A.15 - Enhanced Conspicuity for Standard SignsOption:
01 Based upon engineering judgment, where the improvement of the conspicuity of a standard regulatory, warning, or guide sign is desired, any of the following methods may be used, as appropriate, to enhance the sign's conspicuity (see Figure 2A-1): A. Increasing the size of a standard regulatory, warning, or guide sign.B. Doubling-up of a standard regulatory, warning, or guide sign by adding a second identical sign on the left-hand side of the roadway.C. Adding a solid yellow or fluorescent yellow rectangular "header panel" above a standard regulatory sign, with the width of the panel corresponding to the width of the standard regulatory sign. A legend of "NOTICE," "STATE LAW," or other appropriate text may be added in black letters within the header panel for a period of time determined by engineering judgment.D. Adding a NEW plaque (see Section 2C.62) above a new standard regulatory or warning sign, for a period of time determined by engineering judgment, to call attention to the new sign.E. Adding one or more red or orange flags (cloth or retroreflective sheeting) above a standard regulatory or warning sign, with the flags oriented so as to be at 45 degrees to the vertical.F. Adding a solid yellow, a solid fluorescent yellow, or a diagonally striped black and yellow (or black and fluorescent yellow) strip of retroreflective sheeting at least 3 inches wide around the perimeter of a standard warning sign. This may be accomplished by affixing the standard warning sign on a background that is 6 inches larger than the size of the standard warning sign.G. Adding a warning beacon (see Section 4L.03 ) to a standard regulatory (other than a STOP or a Speed Limit sign), warning, or guide sign.H. Adding a speed limit sign beacon (see Section 4L.04) to a standard Speed Limit sign.I. Adding a stop beacon (see Section 4L.05) to a STOP sign.J. Adding light emitting diode (LED) units within the symbol or legend of a sign or border of a standard regulatory, warning, or guide sign, as provided in Section 2A.07.K. Adding a strip of retroreflective material to the sign support in compliance with the provisions of Section 2A.21.L. Using other methods that are specifically allowed for certain signs as described elsewhere in this Manual.2 Del. Admin. Code § 2A.15
