  • Guide Signs for Freeways and Expressways Are Primarily Identified by the Name of the Sign Rather Than by an Assigned Sign Designation
    2011 Edition Page 235 CHAPTER 2E. GUIDE SIGNS—FREEWAYS AND EXPRESSWAYS Section 2E.01 Scope of Freeway and Expressway Guide Sign Standards Support: 01 The provisions of this Chapter provide a uniform and effective system of signing for high-volume, high- speed motor vehicle traffic on freeways and expressways. The requirements and specifications for expressway signing exceed those for conventional roads (see Chapter 2D), but are less than those for freeway signing. Since there are many geometric design variables to be found in existing roads, a signing concept commensurate with prevailing conditions is the primary consideration. Section 1A.13 includes definitions of freeway and expressway. 02 Guide signs for freeways and expressways are primarily identified by the name of the sign rather than by an assigned sign designation. Guidelines for the design of guide signs for freeways and expressways are provided in the “Standard Highway Signs and Markings” book (see Section 1A.11). Standard: 03 The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to any highway that meets the definition of freeway or expressway facilities. Section 2E.02 Freeway and Expressway Signing Principles Support: 01 The development of a signing system for freeways and expressways is approached on the premise that the signing is primarily for the benefit and direction of road users who are not familiar with the route or area. The signing furnishes road users with clear instructions for orderly progress to their destinations. Sign installations are an integral part of the facility and, as such, are best planned concurrently with the development of highway location and geometric design.

The Location ID can be utilized to access detailed traffic data in the Transportation Data Management System (TDMS) • Four digit count section identifiers (i.e. 7701) are associated with ramps and crossovers on the state highway system (i.e. 7701) • Five digit count section identifier (i.e. 53035) are associate with traffic count section located on roadway sections owned by local agencies • Six digit count section identifiers (i.e. 100007) are associated with mainline roadway segments on the state highway system (i.e. 100007) Definitions of Alpha-Numeric Route Designations Route is the alpha numeric route designation of the highway. The number is the signed route number of the highway appearing on the shield. Interstate (I) represents the networks of access controlled highways that form the National Highway System • Interstates (I) are signed with an Interstate Highway shield US Routes (US) are a nationwide network of roads and highways that form the Federal Highways • US Routes (US)are signed with a US Highway shield State Routes (SR) are roadways that are owned and maintained by the state of Arizona. • State Routes (SR) are signed by the Arizona Route shield The following are Signed Route Qualifiers where: • A is an Alternate Route • B is a Business Route • L Is Loop Route • S is a Spur Route • T is a Truck Route • X is a Temporary Route • Y is a Wye Leg Route • (N) indicates the numerical sequence of a discontinuous route.

  • Response to Comments on Silver Spring to Glenmont Bikeway
    Response to Comments on Silver Spring to Glenmont Bikeway CAG Member Page Comment Response Dennis The plan should indicate that over the long term there should Agreed. This was our intent but in rereading the introduction it be trails paralleling Georgia Avenue on both sides, both east is clear that this was not stated. and west. Dennis As there will likely be insufficient funds for some time to do Agreed. both, safe bike/ped crossings at every intersection on Georgia that has a traffic light should be a high priority. Dennis Suggest the Red route be modified and improved along the We agree with these comments and plan to incorporate them following lines: into our draft bikeway recommendations. 1. retain the northern section from Glenmont Metro south as far as Plyers Mill. This avoids the problems with the Wheaton CBD which may be surmountable someday, but not readily at this time. 2. Have the Red route continue along the route of the Green route east of Georgia Ave. from Plyers Mill to Forest Glen Road. This provides a safe, simple and relatively flat route without the complications and step hill that make this stretch of proposed Red line less desirable. 3. The Red route should cross Georgia at Forest Glen taking advantage of the safe bike/ped crossing that should be there. This eliminates the costly building of a new pike/ped bridge over the Beltway that the (proposed) Green line would require and allows the route to take advantage of the existing bike/ped bridge along Georgia Avenue that the proposed Blue and Red routes enjoy.
