Section 2B.39 - Selective Exclusion Signs

Support:

01 Selective Exclusion signs (see Figure 2B-11) give notice to road users that State or local statutes or ordinances exclude designated types of traffic from using particular roadways or facilities.

Standard:

02 If used, Selective Exclusion signs shall clearly indicate the type of traffic that is excluded.

02A (DE Revision) § 179 of Title 17 of the Delaware Code states that notice of prohibition of use of controlled-access facilities by specific classes of motor-driven vehicles or other vehicles shall be posted on traffic-control devices at the entrances to controlled-access facilities.

Support:

03 Typical exclusion messages include:

A. No Trucks (R5-2),

B. NO MOTOR VEHICLES (R5-3),

C. NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES (R5-4),

D. NO TRUCKS (VEHICLES) WITH LUGS (R5-5),

E. No Bicycles (R5-6),

F. NO NON-MOTORIZED TRAFFIC (R5-7),

G. NO MOTOR-DRIVEN CYCLES (R5-8),

H. No Pedestrians (R9-3),

I. No Skaters (R9-13),

J. No Equestrians (R9-14), and

Guidance:

04A (DE Revision) A NO NON-MOTORIZED TRAFFIC (R5-7) sign (see Figure 2B-11) should be posted at the entrance to controlled-access facilities per § 179 of Title 17 of the Delaware Code.

05 If an exclusion is governed by vehicle weight, a Weight Limit sign (see Section 2B.59) should be used instead of a Selective Exclusion sign.

06 If used on a freeway or expressway ramp, the NO PEDESTRIANS OR BICYCLES (R5-10b) sign should be installed in a location where it is clearly visible to any pedestrian or bicyclist attempting to enter the limited access facility from a street intersecting the exit ramp.

07 The Selective Exclusion sign should be placed on the right-hand side of the roadway at an appropriate distance from the intersection so as to be clearly visible to all road users turning into the roadway that has the exclusion. The NO PEDESTRIANS (R5-10c) or No Pedestrian Crossing (R9-3) sign (see Section 2B.51) should be installed so as to be clearly visible to pedestrians who are at a location where an alternative route is available.

Option:

08 The NO PEDESTRIANS (R5-10c) or No Pedestrian Crossing (R9-3) sign may also be used at underpasses or elsewhere where pedestrian facilities are not provided.

09 The NO TRUCKS (R5-2a) word message sign may be used as an alternate to the No Trucks (R5-2) symbol sign.

10 The AUTHORIZED VEHICLES ONLY (R5-11) sign may be used at median openings and other locations to prohibit vehicles from using the median opening or facility unless they have special permission (such as law enforcement vehicles or emergency vehicles) or are performing official business (such as highway agency vehicles).

10A (DE Revision) The NO TURNS OFFICIAL USE ONLY (R3-3-DE) sign may be used at median openings to prohibit vehicles from making turns at the median opening unless they have special permission.
