Support:

02 (DE Revision) Major points of entry include Interstate, U.S. Route, and State Route crossings of the state line.

03(DE Revision) If used, SR1-20-DE signs shall have an informational plaque at the top of the sign with the black legend, STATE LAW, on a yellow background.

Guidance:

05 (DE Revision) If used, SR1-20-DE signs should be located near the state line.

08 (DE Revision) SR1-20-DE signs may be installed on roads at the municipal boundaries of cities, towns, and municipalities at the request of the local government.
