Section 458.11 - Location

(a) Warning signs are placed primarily for the protection of the driver who is unacquainted with the road. They should normally be located well in advance of the condition to which they apply, with due consideration for existing physical characteristics. Day and night trial runs should be made to determine the most effective placement and positioning.

(b) In rural districts, the advance distance will depend upon the speed limit, prevailing speed of approaching traffic, character of road alignment and nature of the topography. Subject to adjustment for specific conditions, the advanced distance for warning signs shall normally be between 250 feet and 750 feet.
