STOP SIGN (R1-1) (a) Justification. The Stop Sign (R1-1) is authorized for use on those streets or highways which intersect with a through highway or at a stop intersection so designed by the Department of Transportation with reference to State- designated highways or local authorities with reference to highways under their jurisdiction. The R1-1 sign is also authorized for use in work zones involving one-lane, two-way roadways. At intersections where all approaches are controlled by an R1-1 sign, a supplemental ALL-WAY Plaque (R1-3P) shall be mounted below each R1-1 sign. (b) Authorization. Before local authorities designate any highway as a through highway or stop intersection which will intersect or affect a State-designated highway, approval of such designation shall first be obtained from the Department of Transportation. Approval to install R1-1 signs in work areas shall not require the approval of the Department of Transportation or local authorities when the conditions stipulated in the Department of Transportation's Temporary Traffic Control Guidelines are satisfied. (c) Size. The standard size R1-1 sign shall be 30 inches x 30 inches for single lane conventional highways and 36 inches x 36 inches for multi-lane conventional highways. The 24 inches x 24 inches size shall only be used for alleys with restrictive physical conditions and vehicle usage that prohibits the installation of the standard size R1-1. A sign that is mounted back-to-back with a R1-1 sign should stay within the edges of the R1-1.

For a yield-controlled channelized right-turn movement onto a roadway without an acceleration lane and for an entrance ramp onto a freeway or expressway without an acceleration lane, a No Merge Area (W4-5P) supplemental plaque may be mounted below a R1-2 sign when engineering judgment indicates that road users would expect an acceleration lane to be present. (b) Size. The standard size of the R1-2 sign for single lane conventional highways shall be 36 inches per side. The minimum size for multi-lane conventional highways and expressways shall be 48 inches per side. A sign mounted back-to-back with a R1-2 should stay within the edges of the R1-2 sign.

Its use should be limited to those locations where a significant energy saving can be realized by minimizing the number of vehicles required to stop or substantially reduce their speed. Care should be taken to insure that no traffic conflicts exist. (b) Placement. When used, the R1-10P plaque shall be mounted below the Stop Sign (R1-1) on the approach with the heavy right-turn movement. |
|
