DEDICATED LANE ADVANCE DIRECTION SIGNS

generally be placed to the right of the airport name. Where the airport name is the same as the place name destination along the same route, the aircraft symbol may be used on its own on a separate line ranged left. Symbols with a directional element (see Appendix B) should face either left or right as appropriate. For ahead destinations, the symbol should face left, except for the aircraft symbol which should point vertically upwards. Where the arrow is inclined at 225° on the final advance direction sign at a grade separated junction, any aircraft symbol associated with that direction should also be inclined at 225° to the vertical. Examples of the use of symbols are given in figure 6-7.

WARNING AND REGULATORY SIGNS ON DEDICATED LANE ADVANCE DIRECTION SIGNS

6.12 The design rules are basically the same as those for stack type signs (see paras 4.16 to 4.27), except that the arrows are below the legend blocks.A plate indicating the distance from the junction to the restriction should always be used with a regulatory sign unless the restriction indicated commences at the junction. Distance plates may also be added below triangular warning signs.
