  • Preferential and Managed Lane Signs and General Information Signs
    2009 Edition Page 253 CHAPTER 2G. PREFERENTIAL AND MANAGED LANE SIGNS Section 2G.01 Scope Support: 01 Preferential lanes are lanes designated for special traffic uses such as high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs), light rail, buses, taxis, or bicycles. Preferential lane treatments might be as simple as restricting a turning lane to a certain class of vehicles during peak periods, or as sophisticated as providing a separate roadway system within a highway corridor for certain vehicles. 02 Preferential lanes might be barrier-separated (on a separate alignment or physically separated from the other travel lanes by a barrier or median), buffer-separated (separated from the adjacent general-purpose lanes only by a narrow buffer area created with longitudinal pavement markings), or contiguous (separated from the adjacent general-purpose lanes only by a lane line). Preferential lanes might allow continuous access with the adjacent general-purpose lanes or restrict access only to designated locations. Preferential lanes might be operated in a constant direction or operated as reversible lanes. Some reversible preferential lanes on a divided highway might be operated counter-flow to the direction of traffic on the immediately adjacent general-purpose lanes. 03 Preferential lanes might be operated on a 24-hour basis, for extended periods of the day, during peak travel periods only, during special events, or during other activities. 04 Open-road tolling lanes and toll plaza lanes that segregate traffic based on payment method are not considered preferential lanes. Chapter 2F contains information regarding signing of open-road tolling lanes and toll plaza lanes. 05 Managed lanes typically restrict access with the adjacent general-purpose lanes to designated locations only.

  • Road Traffic Signs Manual
    SA Learner Driver Manual Road Traffic Signs 2. ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNS, SIGNALS AND MARKINGS The purpose of road traffic signs is to regulate traffic in such a way that traffic flow and road traffic safety are promoted. 1. SIGNS IN GENERAL Road traffic signs can be divided into the following six main groups: TYPE OF SIGN PURPOSE ORDINARY SHAPE Regulatory signs Regulatory signs regulate and control the actions of road users. Round They prohibit or command road users to perform certain actions. Failure to obey these signs is an offence and is punishable by a fine or imprisonment or both. Warning signs Warning signs alert road users in time to dangerous conditions on or next Triangular to the road. Guidance signs Guidance signs are an aid to the road user. Rectangular If the message is short, these rectangular signs are small. However, these signs used for guidance or directing as well as those, which are fairly complicated, are relatively big. Information signs Information signs supply general information to the road user. Road Markings Road markings regulates, control and warn traffic by; defining carriageway and traffic lane limits; and to direct in a specific direction. As in the case of regulatory signs, it is an offence to disregard regulatory markings. Traffic signals Traffic signals regulate vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Failure to obey traffic signals is punishable. Exceptions Although Regulatory signs are usually round, there are exceptions, such as the: octagonal stop sign, triangular yield sign and diamond-shaped pedestrian priority signs Version: Draft Page 1 of 56 SA Learner Driver Manual Road Traffic Signs A sign with a yellow background is a temporary sign, which is used to indicate a change in normal circumstances, whether for a few minutes, hours or even months.

Literature Review 24 1 ERF Positon Paper on Vertical Signage 1. Executive Summary Vertical signage (commonly referred to as traffic signs) is an essential element of a modern and well maintained road infrastructure. It helps regulate traffic, provide crucial visual guidance, can alert drivers to potential hazards on the road and give drivers important preview time during night-time conditions. The functionality of traffic signs depends on their visibility and recognisibility during daytime and night-time. During the day this requires that the sign face and symbol colors are not faded in such a way that it becomes impossible to recognise the message that the sign is trying to deliver.
