DIRECTIONAL INFORMATORY SIGNS - GENERAL PRINCIPLES

USE OF BROWN TOURIST ATTRACTION PANELS

3.42 Although the Regulations permit the integration of brown tourist attraction panels into direction and advance direction signs, it might be cheaper and more efficient to place tourist information on a second sign. In diagram 2004 the inclusion of the tourist panel has resulted in wasted space under the "Dorfield" panel. On the other hand, in diagram 2113.1 removal of the tourist panel would not reduce the overall sign area. Where a separate tourist attraction sign is provided, such as diagram 2202, this should be sited at a convenient interval after the main sign. It is recommended that this segregation of information is maintained at the junction by providing a separate tourist attraction direction sign, such as diagram 2203.
