Notes: 1. Larger signs may be used when appropriate

2. Dimensions are shown in inches and are shown as width x height

02 The minimum sign and plaque sizes for shared-use paths shall be those shown in Table 9B-1, and shall be used only for signs and plaques installed specifically for bicycle traffic applications. The minimum sign and plaque sizes for bicycle facilities shall not be used for signs or plaques that are placed in a location that would have any application to other vehicles.

Option:

03 Larger size signs and plaques may be used on bicycle facilities when appropriate (see Section 2A.11).

Guidance:

04 Except for size, the design of signs and plaques for bicycle facilities should be identical to that provided in this Manual for signs and plaques for streets and highways.

Support:

05 Uniformity in design of bicycle signs and plaques includes shape, color, symbols, arrows, wording, lettering, and illumination or retroreflectorization.
