Table 15.1 Directional Signs
Part 12 Prescribes the legends that may be used with the parking place symbols and includes the variant of the "P" symbol that indicates the total number of parking spaces.
Part 13 Sets out the provisions applying to Parts 14 to 18.
Part 14
to
Part 18
Prescribe symbols for tourist and leisure destinations. These replicate Schedule 14 in TSRGD 2002. New symbols include previously "approved" symbols shown on the "AT" series of working drawings and a symbol indicating a sports centre in Wales. Symbols indicating tourist destinations in England now require the approval of VisitEngland. For this reason, leisure facilities that do not require this approval have been defined separately and this is indicated in the descriptions in column 2 of the tables where appropriate
Part 19 Sets out the provisions applying to Part 20.
Part 20 Prescribes warning and regulatory symbols that may be incorporated on directional signs. Included for the first time are "time" and "exception" supplementary plates. An exception plate, for example, could be used with a "no entry" sign to indicate a bus only route. The height of each symbol, in stoke widths, is taken from Chapter 7 of the Traffic signs Manual. Because the symbol size is now prescribed, a permitted variant ensures that two symbols side by side are the same height as referred to in Chapter 7.
Part 21 Sets out the provisions applying to Part 22.
Part 22 Prescribes the background colour and the range of x-heights for each type of services sign and includes both rectangular and flag type signs. Prescribed for the first time are signs for motorway rest areas and for truck-stops on motorways and all-purpose roads. Truck-stop signs have a black background with legend in white and,on all-purpose roads, replace the "lorries only" signs with a white background. A permitted variant of the rectangular motorway sign allows the legend "Services" or "Rest area" to be added to the direction sign on the nose of an exit slip road (previously diagrams 2910 and 2910.1 in TSRGD 2002).
Part 23 Sets out the provisions applying to Part 24.
Part 24 Prescribes the symbols that may be incorporated on advance signs for services. Service area and truckstop signs on motorways may now include corporate logos of franchisees operating on the site, in which case any panel showing the site operator's name shall be incorporated within the main sign rather than placed on top of the sign.
Part 25 Sets out the provisions applying to Part 26.
Part 26 Prescribes complete services signs that cannot be produced using the sign elements in Parts 22 and 24. The sign indicating the availability of services on a motorway and previously prescribed by diagram 2917 in TSRGD 2002 has been retained. There is a now a new version of this sign which replaces the service area operators' names with geographical names. This new sign may also indicate truckstops, using the white lorry symbol. Part 26 also prescribes the local facilities signs previously prescribed by diagrams 2308.1 and 2309.1 in TSRGD 2002.
Part 27 Sets out the provisions applying to Part 28.
