A distinctive system to guide motorists to park entrances and along park roadways, these signs use new lower-cost, brighter, and longer-lasting materials which — along with the recently developed NPS Roadway type face — will enhance message legibility and visitor safety. Traffic regulatory signs will follow Federal Highway Administration standards unless otherwise supplied. Highway Guide Signs are placed on state roads outside of a park entrance and are intended to direct visitors to a park. Pathfinders serve as an additional assist in guiding visitors to specific park sites and features in urban and highly developed suburban environments. By displaying the NPS Arrowhead and other graphic elements, Pathfinders also help to reinforce park and agency identity. Boundary Signs designate the beginning of park land. These signs are useful in areas of multiple land ownership, or where it is better to place an entrance sign at a location other than the official park boundary. Road Guide Signs are placed on park roads to direct the first-time or infrequent visitor to facilities and areas within a park. MUTCD Regulatory and Warning Signs are used within a park to govern the operation of motor vehicles. As required, MUTCD Regulatory and Warning Signs in the UniGuide System comply in content and appearance with Federal Highway Administration guidelines as expressed in the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The other three categories of UniGuide Motorist Guidance Signs meet or exceed MUTCD performance requirements, but they have a distinctive appearance from most road and highway guide signs. NPS signs will continue to have a brown background. However, the UniGuide Standards specify the use of the NPS Roadway typeface rather than Clarendon, the font currently used on NPS signs. The change was made because tests proved NPS Roadway to be more legible than Clarendon. Additionally, signs made with NPS Roadway can be 11.4% smaller than with Clarendon. Use of NPS Roadway, one of the two official NPS typefaces, helps reinforce NPS identity.

National Park Service UniGuide Program Volume 2 Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1-5 National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior NPS UniGuide Standards: Volume 2 Roadway Signs Chapter 2 Graphic Standards National Park Service UniGuide Program 1 Overview 1.0 Introduction The building blocks for the UniGuide Program consist of six graphic components: typography, grid formats, Arrowhead symbol, directional arrow graphics, recreation symbols, and color. These components are used in specific ways to visually enhance particular types of communica- tions consistently throughout the National Park System. This chapter provides specific guidlines on graphic standards for Roadway Signs.

NPS Roadway (designed specifically for the National Park Service) is the primary typeface used on Roadway Signs. Frutiger (used under license from Adobe), replaces the Helvetica formerly used in many NPS media. Along with Rawlinson, Frutiger is used as a secondary typeface on VIS Signs and Park and Facility Identification Signs. Clearview (which was created by the same firm that designed NPS Rawlinson) is used as a sec- ondary typeface on all Roadway Signs and on those VIS (see Volume 3, Uniguide Standards) Signs that provide information to motorists. Clearview is similar to Frutiger in appearance, but — unlike Frutiger — is approved by the Federal Highway Administration for use on roadways. NPS Roadway ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 Clearview Highway ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 Frutiger 65 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 National Park Service UniGuide Program Volume 2 Chapter 2: Graphic Standards 2.2-1 Typography 2.1 Specifications and Compliance Only these fonts are to be used on Roadway Signs. Alternates — such as Helvetica, Century, Times Roman, or Clarendon — are not acceptable. Specified typefaces are to be used in the production of all graphic panels. Conversions that change the typographic style, letterspacing, alignment, stroke-width, or size will be rejected. 2.2 Method of Typographic Display All legends are displayed in NPS Roadway, in upper and lowercase (U/lc), with initial capital letters only unless otherwise noted. Advance Guidance Legends are displayed in Clearview, in uppercase (UC). 2.3 Letterspace Adjustment for Legibility Signs viewed from a distance require more space between letters (additional tracking) than those viewed by pedestrians from a standing position. Computer software programs provide precise adjustments for such tracking needs. Within the UniGuide program, custom tracking of legends is limited. NPS Roadway and Clearview have the correct proportional letterspacing built into the font for Roadway Sign applications. The numerical value of the specified tracking is identified with the individual grid specifications. 2.4 Typographic Alignment Destination legends are placed flush left (left justified) on the grid with initial letter aligned to the left side of a vertical stroke unless specified as centered on the layout grid. Alignment: Initial capital letters align on the leading edge of the vertical stroke. Round and angu- lar letters are placed slightly to the left as shown so as to appear Yos aligned flush left on the grid. Vertical alignment: The serif is allowed to extend beyond the edge of the grid. Letters including Y, W, A, etc. are aligned inside the serif at the location where the body of the actual Nat letter begins as shown in the diagram on the left. Horizontal alignment: The distance between the baseline of a line of type and the imaginary line across the top of capital let- ters becomes the dimension on Cen which interline spacing is based. National Park Service UniGuide Program Volume 2 Chapter 2: Graphic Standards 2.2-2 3 NPS Arrowhead 3.0 Introduction Since its introduction in 1952, the NPS Arrowhead logo has become a well recognized sym- bol of the agency. Changes to the logo, adopted in 2001, helped to ensure that the Arrowhead appears more often, more consistently, and more legibly on all NPS communication materi- als, including signs. The UniGuide Sign Standards prescribe the use of the NPS Arrowhead on selected Park and Facility Identification signs, and on specified Roadway Signs, including Pathfinders. Information about the NPS Arrowhead is available online at <www.graphics.nps.gov>. The two Arrowheads required for use on signs have been optimized for a variety of imaging technologies and for distant viewing. The Arrowhead Symbol is to be considered all inclusive. The Arrowhead should not be altered or redrawn, nor should any element within the Arrowhead be removed, replaced, or modified. National Park Service UniGuide Program Volume 2 Chapter 2: Graphic Standards 2.3-1 NPS Arrowhead The decision of when and how to use the NPS Arrowhead logo on signs should be made with care. Although the Arrowhead is an integral part of the agency’s public identity, it should not be overused.

    6. REGULATORY SIGNS 2B-1 Application of Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs inform highway users of traffic laws or regulations and indicate the applicability of legal requirements that would not oth- erwise be apparent. These signs shall be erected wherever needed to fulfill this purpose, but unnecessary mandates should be avoided. The laws of many States specify that certain regulations are enforceable only when made known by official signs. Some regulatory signs are related to operational controls but do not impose any obligations or prohibitions. For example, signs giving ad- vance notice of or marking the end of a restricted zone are included in the regulatory group. Regulatory signs normally shall be erected at those locations where regulations apply. The sign message shall clearly indicate the require- ments imposed by the regulation and shall be easily visible and legible to the vehicle operator. 2B-2 Classification of Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs are classified in the following groups: 1. Right-of-way series: (a) STOP sign (sec. 2B-4 to 6) (b) YIELD sign (sec. 2B-7 to 9) 2. Speed series (sec. 2B-10 to 14) 3. Movement series: (a) Turning (see. 2B-15 to 19) (b) Alignment (sec. 2B-20 to 25) (c) Exclusion (see. 2B-26 to 28) (d) One Way (sec. 2B-29 to 30) 4. Parking series (see. 2B-31 to 34) 5. Pedestrian series (see. 2B-35 to 36) 6. Miscellaneous series (sec. 2B-37 to 44) 2B-3 Design of Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs are rectangular, with the longer dimension vertical, and have black legend on a white background, except for those signs whose standards specify otherwise.

Meeker, F. SEGD Meeker & Associates, Inc. Larchmont, NY This body of work started at this sleepy intersection off of I-84 in the state of Oregon. As part of a motorist information project for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), I was finally forced to look for the answers to questions that I had wondered for years. Why? 1) Why is the structure of this information so eclectic and seemingly dysfunctional? 2) We are taught that mixed case would be more readable (why isn’t book/magazine/newspaper text published in all upper case?); so why are conventional road guide sign destination names in all upper case letters? 3) Why is the destination name on that freeway guide sign so fat? Why does it appear that you can’t fit your finger through the center space of the small “e” and the letterforms chunk up when viewed at a distance? 2 3 A lot of information competing for your attention yet created as if it is to stand alone! And Oregon is not alone.

  • 2C-1 Application of Warning Signs Warning Signs Are Used When It Is
    C. WARNING SIGNS 2C-1 Application of Warning Signs Warning signs are used when it is deemed necessary to warn traffic of existing or potentially hazardous conditions on or adjacent to a high- way or street. Warning signs require caution on the part of the vehicle operator and may call for reduction of speed or a maneuver in the interest of his own safety and that of other vehicle operators and pedes- trians. Adequate warnings are of great assistance to the vehicle opera- tor and are valuable in safe-guarding and expediting traffic. The use of warning signs should be kept to a minimum because the unnecessary use of them to warn of conditions which are apparent tends to breed disrespect for all signs. Even on the most modern expressways there may be some conditions to which the driver can be alerted by means of warning signs. These conditions are in varying degrees common to all highways, and existing standards for warning signs are generally applicable to expressways. Typical locations and hazards that may warrant the use of warning signs are: 1. Changes in horizontal alignment 2. Intersections 3. Advance warning of control devices 4. Converging traffic lanes 5. Narrow roadways 6. Changes in highway design 7. Grades 8. Roadway surface conditions 9. Railroad crossings 10. Entrances and crossings 11. Miscellaneous Warning signs specified herein cover most conditions that are likely to be met. Special warning signs for highway construction and mainte- nance operations, school areas, railroad grade crossings and bicycle fa- cilities are dealt with in Parts VI through IX of this Manual.

Obrazkowy słownik języka polskiego po raz pierwszy ukazał się w roku 1993 i był pierwszym słownikiem tego typu przezna− czonym dla uczących się języka polskiego jako obcego. Był on adreso− wany zarówno do tych, którzy naukę rozpoczynali, jak i do tych, którzy chcieli poszerzyć swoją znajomość polskiego słownictwa. Wszystkie ar− tykuły hasłowe słownika definiowane były za pomocą obrazków. Dzięki takiej technice możliwe było uniknięcie wielu kłopotów związanych z definiowaniem pojęć podstawowych, stanowiących zasadniczy kor− pus pracy. Pierwsze wydanie, mimo bardzo skromnej szaty graficznej – plansze słownika były czarno−białe – cieszyło się sporą popularnością wśród uczących się (posługiwano się nim i w kraju i za granicą) i jego nakład wkrótce się wyczerpał. Korzystając z nadarzającej się okazji postanowiliśmy przygotować kolejne wydanie Obrazkowego słownika języka polskiego uwzględniając w nim zarówno nowe pomysły autorów jak i sugestie oraz spostrzeże− nia użytkowników. Zasadnicza koncepcja pracy, zgodnie z którą zna− czenia jednostek leksykalnych definiowane są za pomocą rysunków, nie uległa zmianie. Jednakże dzięki nowym, kolorowym tablicom nie− zwykle zyskała szata graficzna słownika i poprawiła się czytelność rysun− ków. Mieliśmy także możliwość wprowadzenia do nich nowych ele− mentów leksykalnych, przez co wzrosła nieco liczba haseł słowniczka.
