DIRECTIONAL INFORMATORY SIGNS - GENERAL PRINCIPLES


MORE THAN ONE ROUTE NUMBER ON THE SAME LINE

3.21 Figure 3-12 shows the most likely combinations of route numbers on the same line. It is not permissible to place a patched route number inside brackets with other unpatched route numbers. The correct and incorrect ways of dealing with this situation are shown in figure 3-13.




DESTINATION BLOCKS

3.22 A place name and its associated route number (it any) is referred to as a block. A block can be a single line legend with the rout number to the right of the place name. Alternatively, the route number may be positioned below the place name and ranged left. For certain sign designs the route number may be ranged right and details of this are covered in the relevant sections below (see also diagrams 2009, 2017, 2112, 2115, 2121 and 2127 in the Regulations). Two or more place names may be associated with the same route number. The route number may be placed alongside the place names to the right and positioned vertically as described
