Section 9B.24 - Reference Location Signs (D10-1 through D10-3) and Intermediate Reference Location Signs (D10-1a through D10-3a)Support:
01 There are two types of reference location signs: A. Reference Location (D10-1, 2, and 3) signs show an integer distance point along a shared-use path; andB. Intermediate Reference Location (D10-1a, 2a, and 3a) signs also show a decimal between integer distance points along a shared-use path. Option:
02 Reference Location (D10-1 to D10-3) signs (see Figure 9B-4) may be installed along any section of a shared-use path to assist users in estimating their progress, to provide a means for identifying the location of emergency incidents and crashes, and to aid in maintenance and servicing.03 To augment the reference location sign system, Intermediate Reference Location (D10-1a to D10-3a) signs (see Figure 9B-4), which show the tenth of a mile with a decimal point, may be installed at one tenth of a mile intervals, or at some other regular spacing. Standard:
04 If Intermediate Reference Location (D10-1a to D10-3a) signs are used to augment the reference location sign system, the reference location sign at the integer mile point shall display a decimal point and a zero numeral.05 If placed on shared-use paths, reference location signs shall contain 4.5-inch white numerals on a green background that is at least 6 inches wide with a white border. The signs shall contain the word MILE in 2.25-inch white letters.06 Reference location signs shall have a minimum mounting height of 2 feet, measured vertically from the bottom of the sign to the elevation of the near edge of the shared-use path, and shall not be governed by the mounting height requirements prescribed in Section 9B.01. Option:
07 Reference location signs may be installed on one side of the shared-use path only and may be installed back-to-back.08 If a reference location sign cannot be installed in the correct location, it may be moved in either direction as much as 50 feet. Guidance:
09 If a reference location sign cannot be placed within 50 feet of the correct location, it should be omitted.10 Zero distance should begin at the south and west terminus points of shared-use paths. Support:
