Aurora has a strong design team with 21 members, we have sufficient experiences in designing road signs and would like to share our experiences at our website. How to design a roadside sign is a big subject, which includes select sizes of the signs.
Ground Mounted versus Overhead Sign Structures Ground Mounted Signs ‐ Ground mounts are used for the majority of signs in Alberta. They are reasonably economic and consistent in appearance and placement. Guide signs are normally installed on the right side of the road, as this is where the driver expects to see them. However, under certain circumstances, signs can be mounted at other locations when it is beneficial to do so. These locations can include:
• In the median to increase conspicuity.
• On the left hand side of the road if there is a sharp right turn.
Overhead Signs ‐ Overhead signs are used on freeways, expressways
and major arterials where there are many lanes of traffic,
sightline issues, or where the sign needs to be seen from a far
distance. They are not normally installed on two‐lane highways.
Overhead signs may be installed on a bridge type structure or
cantilever. There are many situations where overhead sign
structures may be beneficial:
• Traffic volumes at or near capacity.
• Complex interchange design.
• Collision experience indicates drivers having difficulty seeing
the primary sign.
• Three or more lanes in each direction.
• Restricted sight distance.
• Closely spaced interchanges.
• Multi‐lane exits.
• Left hand exit.
• High percentage of trucks.
• Background street lighting.
• High speed of traffic.
• Consistency of sign message location through a series of
interchanges.
• Insufficient space for ground‐mounted signs.
• Junction of a major route with another freeway.
The existence ofone or more of these conditions does not
automatically justify the use of overhead signs. Some of the noted
elements may be made less critical by close coordination between
design and operation. Overhead sign supports, should not be
installed in gore areas or other exposed locations.
Longitudinal Placement
The distance of a guide sign from an intersection is dependent upon
the reading reaction and maneuver time and the resultant decision
sight distance. Details of the distances of signs at intersections
and interchanges are provided in the TCS Drawings in Sections A4.4
and A4.5. When all the information required by the driver cannot be
placed on a single sign or on a number of signs at one location, a
longitudinal separation of 100 to 150 m between sets of basic signs
is required for all rural areas and 50 to 100 m for urban arterials
and freeways. If the guide signs contain more than basic
information then the distance between them becomes a function of
the amount of information that the driver must read andabsorb, and
must be increased.
