5Positioning of signs#
Part 1 of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) outlines general criteria for the lateral, longitudinal and mounting heights of road traffic signs. The signs referenced in this document must be installed in accordance with the criteria outlined in the MUTCD.
Road traffic signs and structures are potentially hazardous to occupants of errant vehicles. To limit the installation of additional roadside hazards, the diversion direction signs should be installed on existing structures with existing guide signs (where this does not contradict Section 2.2.2). The figures in Section 7 illustrate concept signing layouts.
