Regulatory [ Edit ] Regulatory Signs Give Instructions to Motorists, Pedestrians, and Cyclists 6/4/2018 Road signs in the United States - Wikipedia Regulatory [ edit ] Regulatory signs give instructions to motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists. Signs such as stop, no parking, no turns, and yield are considered regulatory signs. Some have special shapes, such as the octagon for the stop sign and the X shape for railroad crossings. Some signs can be localized, such as no parking, and some are only found in state and local jurisdictions as they are based on state or local laws, such as New York City's "Don't Block the Box" signs. These signs are in the R series of signs in the MUTCD and typically in the R series in most state supplements or state MUTCDs. R1 Series: Stop and Yield [ edit ] The MUTCD's R1 series is for stop and yield. As not all situations are covered, several states have their own standards in addition to the MUTCD. The 4-WAY and 3-WAY plaques (R1-3) were deprecated in the 2009 Edition of the MUTCD in favor of the ALL WAY plaque (R1-4P). Stop and Yield Stop Yield All way plate Yield to State law Yield to State law stop for pedestrians, pedestrians in pedestrians in New York C ity crosswalk crosswalk 4-way plate 3-way plate Yield here to Yield here to Stop here for Stop here for pedestrians pedestrians (alt) pedestrians pedestrians (alt) Wait On Stop Go On Slow Except Right Turn (plaque) R2 Series: Speed Limit [ edit ] The MUTCD's R2 series is for speed limit signs. Some state supplements and state MUTCDs place various speed limit signs in other series. As all situations are not covered, several states have their own standards in addition to the MUTCD. Speed limits in the United States are in miles per hour. Metric speed limit signs in kilometers per hour are authorized but extremely rare, usually seen near the borders with Canada and Mexico, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_the_United_States 1/39 6/4/2018 Road signs in the United States - Wikipedia both of which use the metric system.[3] Many states however disallow the use of metric signs on state-maintained roads, increasing the rarity of such signs.

One Way and Divided Highway One Way Transito (one way), One Way, alternate Divided Highway Divided Highway Chevron Puerto Rico crossing crossing T roundabout intersection directional R7 Series: Parking [ edit ] The MUTCD allows for three types of parking signs, permissive, no parking, and no standing. However, in most states, there is an additional more restrictive one, no stopping. These signs are found in the R7 series of signs in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_the_United_States 6/39 6/4/2018 Road signs in the United States - Wikipedia the MUTCD. As all situations are not covered, several states and local governments have their own standards in addition to the MUTCD. Permissive Parking [ edit ] These types of signs allow for parking for either an unlimited or varied amount of time. These types are often used in conjunction with parking meters and parking permits. These signs are specified by the MUTCD to be green on white. Local variations do occur with additional information and slightly different designs. Permissive Parking Parking with time Parking with time Parking with time Parking with time Parking with time 2 hour parking all restrictions restrictions, restrictions, New and permit and permit roads Town of California York City restrictions, Seattle restrictions, San Hempstead, New Francisco York State Parking with time Parking fee station Reserved parking (Combined) restrictions, (wheelchair) Maryland No Parking [ edit ] No parking signs indicate that loading or unloading there while temporarily stopped is permitted, but parking is not.[4] Some no parking signs display time restrictions, while others are permanent restrictions. There are also temporary versions of the signs, often of similar design to the permanent ones. These signs are specified by the MUTCD to be red on white, although local variations do occur.

  • NCDOT Route Arcs Field Descriptions
    NCRouteArcs Field Descriptions General Notes: The layer contains route data maintained by the state and counties. Fields dropped from the previous output product will be listed in the ‘Removed Fields’ section. X indicates that the definition is stated once but applies to each co-route 2-6. The LRS supports a dominant route (1) and up to 5 additional co-routes (2 – 6) for each segment. For example, the definition for RouteIDX applies to all of the following fields: RouteID2, RouteID3, RouteID4, RouteID5 and RouteID6. The Data Owner is the group that is responsible for maintaining that data item. There may be one or more additional business owners associated with that information, but the Data Owner should be the first group to contact when there is a question about the data in this Layer. Domains are represented as coded values and descriptions. The geodatabase version of the file contains the descriptions. The shapefile version contains the values, which tend to be abbreviated or numeric versions of the description. If the geodatabase table is exported, the resulting table will contain the values. NCRouteCharacteristics is a dual-carriageway system meaning that divided roads (roads with medians) are represented as two separate lines and undivided roads are represented as a single line. This allows for different characteristics to be coded on each side of the route. On divided roads, most characteristics apply to just that side of the road. The 11-Digit RouteID is a unique number assigned to each route. The first digit represents the route class, the second digit represents a route qualifier (for example a business route), the third digit represents the inventory or non-inventory direction, the fourth digit through eighth digit represents the route number and lastly, the last three digits represent the Sap County code.
