Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 5, November 1, 2024

Section 9B.01 - Application and Placement of Signs

Standard:

01 Bicycle signs shall be standard in shape, legend, and color.

02 All signs shall be retroreflectorized for use on bikeways, including shared-use paths and bicycle lane facilities.

03 Where signs serve both bicyclists and other road users, vertical mounting height and lateral placement shall be as provided in Part 2.

04 Where used on a shared-use path, no portion of a sign or its support shall be placed less than 2 feet laterally from the near edge of the path, or less than 8 feet vertically over the entire width of the shared-use path (see Figure 9B-1).

05 Mounting height for post-mounted signs on shared-use paths shall be a minimum of 4 feet, measured vertically from the bottom of the sign to the elevation of the near edge of the path surface (see Figure 9B-1).

Guidance:

06 Signs for the exclusive use of bicyclists should be located so that other road users are not confused by them.

07 The clearance for overhead signs on shared-use paths should be adjusted when appropriate to accommodate path users requiring more clearance, such as equestrians, or typical maintenance or emergency vehicles.
