GUIDE SIGNS DESIGN AND APPLICATION

PREFACE This Arahan Teknik: (Jalan) 2E/87 - "Guide Sign Design And Application" - is an addition to the Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2/85 series on "Manual on Traffic Control Devices" which was published in 1986. It is to be used for the design and application of guide signs. Nevertheless there are parts of this Arahan Teknik which not only include, but add information on standard traffic signs i.e. regulatory, warning and temporary signs. Since this Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2E/87 has in parts superseded Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2A/85 and Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2B/85, it must therefore be read or used in conjunction with them. Attached within is also a summary of addendums and amendments to both the Arahan Tekniks mentioned. It must be noted that the sign design and application standard indicated in this Arahan Teknik and those others in series 2/85 are to be followed at all times. This Arahan Teknik. (Jalan) 2E/87 will be updated from time to time and in this respect any feedback from users will be most welcome. Any comments should be sent to Cawangan Jalan, Ibu Pejabat JKR, Kuala Lumpur

PART ONE: GENERAL ON TRAFFIC SIGNS 1.1

Purpose Of Traffic Signs

e) The signs should be placed so that they are obscured as little as possible by vehicles and other objects.

The purposeof traffic signs is to help ensure the safe and informed operation of every road user on the highway. Traffic sign, are used to regulate, warn, or guide road users. They are essential where special regulations apply at specific times only, or where hazards are not self-evident. They also give information as to highway routes, directions, destinations and places of interest.

1.2

f) The signs should be designed and the driver is left with sufficient time to take any necessary action with safety. g) The signs should be effective both by night and day. The critical factors in meeting these requirements are colour, shape and size of sign, lettering and symbol sizes used, layout of its face, its position and illumination or reflectorization.

General Principles Of Traffic Signs The following general principles are the most important requirements to consider in order to achieve the greatest efficiency of traffic signs: a) The signs must be designed for the foreseeable traffic condition and speeds on the roads on which they are to be used. b) The signs should be conspicuous so that they will attract the attention of drivers at a sufficient distance and should be easily recognizable as traffic signs at that distance. c) The signs should contain only essential information and their significance should be clear at a glance so that the driver's attention is not distracted from the task of driving. d) The signs should be legible from sufficiently far away to be read with out diverting the sight through too great an angle.


1.3

Classification of Traffic Signs Functionally, traffic signs are generally classified into the following types : a) Regulatory Signs b) Warning Signs c) Temporary Signs d) Guide Signs i. Destination Signs ii. Directional Signs iii. Distance Signs iv. Information Signs v. Route Number Markers vi. Kilometer Posts e) Other Traffic Signs Gantry Signs This Arahan Teknik only covers the design and application of guide signs.The guidelines for the design and application of regulatory, warning and temporary signs are covered by Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2A, 2S and 2C/85 respectively while that for gantry sign will be covered by another Arahan Teknik.

Page 8


Guide Signs Design And Application are those that provide information with out the use of word messages.

PART TWO: GENERAL DESIGN CONSIDERATION ON TRAFFIC SIGNS. 2.1

Sizes and templates of standard symbols used on traffic signs are shown in Appendix A. Types and uses of directional symbols are shown in Table 2.4.

Colours Of Traffic Signs Colour plays an important role in distinguishing the nature of one traffic sign from another such that road users may not only recognize the traffic sign as such but may also perceive a general idea of the information before they reach the point at which the message on the sign becomes readable. Sets of colour combination used for the various type of traffic signs are shown in Table 2.1. The colour codes and coordinates indicated in Appendix E have been established and identified for use on traffic signs and posts.

2.2

2.3

Information symbols which may in some ways indicate the direction of travel, such as the aeroplane, should be used with caution.

2.4

Post And Mounting Of Traffic Signs

Three types of lettering and two types of border are used on traffic signs. The letterings used are standard lettering Series 1, Series 2 and Lower Case with height -stroke width ratio 1:5,1:7.5 and 1:4 respectively while the borders used are the light coloured extended to the edge and the dark coloured set-in from the edge types.

Traffic signs should be installed according to the requirements of Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2B/85. Traffic sign posts shall be of steel posts of not less than 62mm outside diameter, and painted with alternating black and white stripes/bands of 300mm intervals. Traffic signal posts, on the other hand, should be painted with alternating black and orange stripes/bands. It should be noted that the first stripe/band from the ground level for both posts is always painted black. The back of every traffic sign shall be painted grey and on it a template with the date the sign was manufactured arid: the naive of the maufacturer shall be stated clearly.

Standard letterings are shown in Appendix A. Types and sizes of letterings and borders used for the various type of traffic signs are shown in Table 2.2 and 2.3.

Traffic signs exceeding 1.00m in any dimension shall be stiffened by the attachment of backing frames. Purlins shall be required for those traffic signs exceeding 1.50m in any dimension.

Letterings And Borders On Traffic Signs

Symbols On Traffic Signs The two types of symbols used on traffic signs are directional and information symbols. Directional symbols are those that indicate directions while information symbols

2.5

Materials Used Or Traffic Signs The following are the trio types of material to be used on traffic signs: a) Retro-reflective sheeting b) Screening ink

2.5.1

Retro-reflective Sheeting. Retro-reflective sheeting a material consisting of one or more retroreflective elements embedded within a transparent film having a smooth, flat outer surface.Two types of retro-reflective sheeting that have been established and identified for use on traffic signs are High Intensity and Engineering Grade retro-reflective sheetings. Both these sheetings are available in sheets and rolls with either heat activated-or pressure sensitive adhesive. Heat activated , adhesive sheeting are bonded to sign substrate by means of the vacuum-heat application method with the heat Lamp vacuum applicator while bonding of pressure sensitive adhesive sheeting to sign substrates is by the application of pressure with hand roller, rubber squeegee, hand or electrically powered squeeze roll applicator.

Guide Signs Design And Application 2.5.2

Screening Ink Screening ink is a transparent or opaque coloured ink of nonreflective element which is used at times on retro-reflective sheetings to provide colour fast pigmentation. Screening ink cannot be affective, and thus cannot be used on traffic signs, unless it is first applied on a retro-reflective sheeting by means of the silk screen process. It should be noted that a screening ink of one brand that has been specified for use on one type retro-reflective sheeting cannot be screened over another brand or type of retro-reflective sheeting. The use of screening inks is to be limited only to standard traffic signs (regulatory, warning and temporary).

Types of retro-reflective sheeting to be used on the various type of traffic signs are stated in the notes of Table 2.1.

NOTE :

1. Values in ( ) refers to the width borders should be set in. 2. In order for Iong place name to fit into a sign of size not exceeding 5m by 4m, the size of the lettering used may be reduced to 3/4 of the recommended letter height and the place name may also be abbreviated if it uses any of the abbreviated words listed in Appendix C . 3. A long place name may have the words placed one on top of another with a vertical spacing of I/2 of the recommended letter height between them and the first letter of the words an the bottom row indented 3/4 of the recommended letter height away from the first letter of the words on the upper row. This method should not be used in Conjunction with (2) above and a not required when the recommended letter height is 100 mm or less . 4. For safety reasons, borders and corners of sign should be rounded on a radius approximately 1/16 of the lesser side dimension, but not to exceed 300mm

PART THREE : LAYOUT DESIGN AND APPLICATION OF GUIDE SIGNS

3.1

General

3.4

The place names on all, guide signs shall be limited to those in Appendix B only. Except for directional signs within town limits, where the next state capital should be shown, all other guide signs shall show the next immediate place names as indicated in Appendix B.

3.2

3.3

Distance Signs Distance signs are signs which give a road user his route confirmation and distance information after leaving a city or municipality, and after maneuvering into a turning roadway or juntion leading to any of the place names listed in Appendix B when traveling on Highway and Expressway. Distance signs should be located at the following location :

Destination Signs Destination signs are signs which give a road user the information as to his route before he reaches a major turning roadway or junction leading to any of the place names listed in Appendix B when travelling on Highways and Expressways. They should be located at a distance lkm and 500m in advance of the turning roadways or junctions.

a)

200m from a turning roadway or 150m beyond an acceleration lane.

b)

100m outside the city or municipality limits or at the edge of the built-up districts.

c)

20km intervals along the route.

Layout design and application of destination signs are shown in Figure 3.1and Appendix D respectively.

Layout design and application of distance signs are shown Figure 3.3 and Appendix D respectively.

Directional Signs Directional signs are signs which give a road user his route information as he reaches a turning roadway or junction. Two types of directional sign are the stack type and the map type signs. Layout design and application of directional signs are shown in Figure 3.2 and Appendix D respectively.


3.5

Information Signs Information signs are. signs which inform road users of the names of town and villages, recreational and historical/cultural places, the availability of facilities or services, and remind them of road etiquette, etc. that have very little or no relation to giving route information. Information signs may be either symbols or word messages, and shall be erected according to the nature of the information to be given. Types and uses of information signs are shown in Figure 3.4 to Figure 3.14.

Page 20



NOTE : 1) Not more than 4 names should be used in combination but only 2 names can be shown per route or direction. 2) Route numbers should he placed on the left side of place names. 3) Places of great interest that do not have their names listed in Appendix B such as Taman Negara, Genting Highlands, Desaru etc. may also be shown provided the routes to these places coincide with the routes to those listed ones. 4) Sign A and B are examples of destination signs at junctions wide Sign C is an example of destination signs at interchanges.


Page 21



FIG.3.2 LAYOUT DESIGN OF DIRECTIONAL SIGNS LEGEND : H : height of capital letter used. (Series I) a,b,c, d : Distances showing that words or symbols must be centralized.


Page 22



NOTE : 1) Not more than 5 names should be used in combination (except for round abouts with more than 6 legs) but only 2 names can be shown per direction. 2) Route numbers should be placed on the left side of place names. 3) Unlike on destination and distance signs, places of great interest that do not have their names listed in Appendix B may not be shown on directional signs. These places should be shown as information signs mounted on the same posts. ( see Fig. 3.2) 4) The destination shown per direction should be the next principal destination i.e the next state capital for those within a town limit, rather than a more distance one. If there are two destinations per direction, the nearer one should be placed on top of any other farther away. 5) A place name can only appear once on the same signs. 6) All directional signs on JKR roads leading to LLM expressways must be white letters /border/ symbol on green background as shown by Sign A 7) All directional sign on JKR roads leading is roads within a local council (local streets with street names) must have yellow letters for the street name as shown bellow by Sign B. 8) LLM expressway logo which is white in color should be shown and Iocated opposite the directional arrow on directional signs leading to LLM expressways.


FIG. 3.2A :


AN EXAMPLE OF DIRECTIONAL SIGN AND INFORMATION SIGN MOUNTED THE SAME POSTS.

NOTE : 1) The example above shown a directional sign and on information sign (in this case a recreational area sign ) mounted on the same posts. 2) Information signs mounted this way must always adhere to the following requirements: a)

The height of the capital letter used should be equal to that used for the directional sign.

b)

The information sign must always be mounted below the directional sign. If there are more than one, the information signs should be placed on a separate panel whereby the anti-clockwise arrow convention should be followed.

Page 25



NOTE : 1) Not more than 5 names should be used in combination but only 3 names can be shown per route. 2) Distances should be shown an the right side of place names. 3) On-the-route route marker should be attached to the top at the sign and on and off-the-route route number should be placed on the left side of the on and off-the route place names. 4) The nearer on-the-route destination should be placed as top of any on-the-route destination farther away. 5) Destination(s) with the nearer off-the-route junction should be placed on top of any destination with the off -the-route junction farther away. 6) Places of great interest that do not have their names listed in Appendix B such as Taman Negara, Genting Highlands, Desaru etc. may also be shown provided the routes to these places coincide with the routes to those listed ones. 7) Only the route marker attached to the top of the sign is required if there is no off-the-route placed names as shown above by sign A.


Page 26



3.6

Route Number Markers Route Number Markers are markers which identify and mark all numbered roads. They are used for identification of roads, for route confirmation and for guidance and reassurance along the road .In State roads, the route number markers should be initiated with the same alphabet designated on car registration numbers which has already been assigned for that particular state.

Unlike other guide signs, route markers are ordinarily incorporated in the shape of JKR logo, for Federal and State roads, and due to their application, have three fixed sizes. The relationship between sizes and other details of route markers is shown in Table 3.2. Layout design and application of route markers are shown in Figure 3.15 to Fig. 3.16 and Appendix D respectively.

Example: To determine spacing between 120mm ‘e’ followed by ‘r’ in Lower Case: From Table A.4 , spacing for ‘e’ followed by ‘r’ = 200mm From Table A.5, factor for 120mm Lower Case = 0.250 Required spacing NOTE :

= 200 x 0.250 = 50 mm

This calculation of spacing between Lower Case letters is not required when letter mosaic is used. Hence, this calculation is only necessary when Lower Case letters are not used with those of Series 1
