drawings that cover all design types such as ground mounted, rigid overhead, span wire mounted, and overpass structure mounted supports. On the drawings, show overall height, sign clearance above foundation, span length, sign loc ations, sign overall heights and widths, and glare shield height and location, if applicable.

630.04Sign Fabrication. Sign types include flat sheet, double faced, extrusheet, and overlay

Flat sheet signs consist of one-piece units made of aluminum. Double faced signs consist of flat sheet aluminum or extruded aluminum blanks with legend on both sides. Extrusheet signs consist of a number of horizontal panels assembled to form a complete sign. Overlay signs consist of an aluminum sheet covering portions or entire surfaces of extrusheet signs. Prior to retroreflective sheeting application, clean aluminum sign surfaces either by total immersion in a tank containing an alkaline solution of the manufacturer’s specification or by steam cleaning with an alkaline solution of the manufacturer’s specification, followed by a thorough rinsing with running water. After cleaning, etch the surface with an acid solution, and dry. Do not allow cleaned and etched surfaces to become contaminated by contact with oil or grease. Drill or punch bolt holes to finish size. Use sign designs according to the OMUTCD and the Sign Designs and Markings Manual. Use the Standard Alphabets for Traffic Control Devices for positive contrast legends on all guide signs. Do not revise overall sign sizes from what is shown in the plans. The edge space between the border and the text may be adjusted from what is normally used to achieve the sign widths show n. For negative contrast legends, use the Standard Alphabets for Traffic Control Devices. Use capital legends and upper/lower case legends in accordance with the Sign Designs and Markings Manual. When either is permitted in the Sign Designs and Markings Manual, use upper/lower case legends. For flat sheet fluorescent yellow and fluorescent yellow -green warning signs, use type XI retroreflective sheeting. For other flat sheet sign types and colors, double faced mile marker, and double faced street name signs, use Type IV, IX or XI retroreflective sheeting for background and retroreflective legends. For extrusheet signs, use Type IV or Type XI retroreflective sheeting for the background, and use Type XI retroreflective sheeting for retroreflective legends, shields and symbols (including hazardous material plaque, airport symbol, arrows and borders). Use the same sheeting type to cover the entire background surface. Use the same sheeting type for the entire legend. Apply retroreflective sheeting to the surface according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, with no blisters, wrinkles, tears, or blemishes. Do not use Reboundable sheeting for permanent signs. For retroreflective legends on flat sheet, double faced mile marker and double faced street name signs, use reverse silk screen transparent ink, digital printing, transparent acrylic electronic cuttable film, or direct applied reflective sheeting copy. When using direct applied retroreflective sheeting copy, apply all legend on a sign with the same rotation angle orientation. For nonreflective legends, use direct 557 silk screen black ink or direct applied nonreflective acrylic opaque black sheeting copy. For double faced mile marker signs, use flat sheet aluminum and apply retroreflective sheeting and legend to both sides. For double faced street name signs, use extruded aluminum blanks with a minimum thickness of 0.063 inch (1.6 mm) and thicker, stiffened edges, and apply retroreflective sheeting and legend to both sides. Extrusheet panels consist of flat sheet aluminum reinforced with aluminum extrusions attached by spot welding. Panels extruded in a single operation may be used in lieu of spot welded panels. Do not use extruded panels and spot welded panels in the same si gn. Bolt together the minimum number of full length, sheeted panels to achieve the sign height, using aluminum bolts, washers, lock washers and nuts. For retroreflective legends, shields and symbols (including hazardous material plaque, airport symbol, arrows and borders) use direct applied retroreflective sheeting. Apply all retroreflective legend on a sign with the same rotation angle orientation. For nonreflective legends, use direct applied nonreflective acrylic opaque black sheeting copy. Use sheeting from the same manufacturer for both the legend and background. For overlay signs, use 0.080 -inch (2.0 mm) thick flat sheet aluminum, with a maximum panel size of 8 × 4 feet (2.4 × 1.2 m). Apply sheeting and legend as described above for extrusheet signs. Attach overlays to extrusheet signs in the shop or field using aluminum blind rivets at a maximum spacing of 18 inches (0.5 m) on the peripheries of the overlays and 24 inches (0.6 m) within the interior. Use fluorescent yellow-green Type XI retroreflective sheeting for the following signs and plaques: School (S1 -1), School Bus Stop Ahead (S3 -1), SCHOOL BUS TURN AHEAD (S3 -2), SCHOOL ENTRANCE (S3-H3), SCHOOL (S4-3P), School Speed Limit Ahead (S4 -5, S4-5a), yellow portions of School Speed Limit (S5-H1), Pedestrian Crossing (R1-6, R1-6b, R1-9), Bicycle (W11-1), Pedestrian (W11-2), Handicapped (W11-9), Bicycle/Pedestrian (W11-15), Trail Crossing (W11-15a), Playground (W15-1), and SAFETY ZONE (W15-H2). Fabricate supplemental warning plaques [such as Advisory Speed (W13-1P), SHARE THE ROAD (W16-1P), Distance (W16-2P, W16-2aP, W16-3P, W16-3aP), Supplemental Arrow (W16-5P, W16-6P, W16-7P) and AHEAD (W16-9P)] from fluorescent yellow- green Type XI retroreflective sheeting when used with a sign above. Use fluorescent yellow Type XI retroreflective sheeting for all yellow signs, yellow portions of multi-colored signs, and yellow sign post reflectors, except for signs and portions of signs required to be fabricated with fluorescent yellow-green Type XI retroreflective sheeting. For lighted signs, cover glare shield and rectangular luminaire support tube with nonreflective acrylic sheeting matching the predominant sign color. Furnish 4 × 2.5 inch (100 × 62 mm) sign identification labels of Type I retroreflective sheeting as shown in Figure 1. For signs fabricated in English based sizes, use white labels with red ink legend. For signs fabricated in hard metric based sizes, regardless of the sign message units contained on the sign face, use yellow labels with red ink legend. Place the label on the back side of the sign in the lower right corner of rectangular signs, or in an equivalent location for other sign shapes, approximately 3 inches (75 mm) from side and bottom sign edges (for smaller signs, these dimensions may be reduced). Position the label so it can be read horizontally and is clearly visible, not near bolt holes or rivets, and not obstructed by the sign support when erected. Silk screen or digitally print the fabrication data onto the face of the label, and include the month and year of fabrication, state project number, sign manufacturer name, the sign process (silkscreen, digital, cut vinyl), and the sheeting manufacturer brand. At the time of sign erection, indicate the erection data by scratching out the appropriate month and year. 558 FIGURE 1 - LABEL DESIGN Fabricate sign post reflectors with flat sheet aluminum and match the retroreflective sheeting type to the sheeting type used for the corresponding sign. Install red sign post reflectors on each post with the following post-mounted signs: Stop (R1-1), Yield (R1-2), Do Not Enter (R5-1), and Wrong Way (R5- 1a). Install yellow sign p ost reflectors on each post with the following post -mounted signs: One - Direction Large Arrow (W1-6), Two-Direction Large Arrow (W1-7), Chevron Alignment (W1-8), and Stop Ahead (W3-1).

Use sign backing assemblies for groups of signs attached to a sign post, and to attach exit number or supplemental panels to an extrusheet sign.

630.07Sign Erection. Erect signs on ground mounted or overhead supports according to the

schematic signing layout. Mount overhead signs so that the bottom of the signs are in a level position regardless of the sag of supporting messenger wire, mast arm rise, chord member or o verpass slope. Do not remove an existing sign until the replacement sign is either erected or available for immediate erection. Do not erect a replacement sign on a new support more than 24 hours before the removal of the existing sign.

A.Flat Sheet Sign Erection.

Use steel bolts, wide washers, lock washers and nuts. Use bearing plates between the sign and U- channel post at each bolt. Field drill signs mounted on messenger wire or mast arms to match holes in brackets.

B.Extrusheet Sign Erection.

Use self-aligning aluminum mounting clips, stainless steel T -bolts, stainless steel washers, and stainless steel nylon insert lock nuts, to attach extrusheet signs to sign attachment assemblies, beam or U-channel post supports, and for U-channel post sections used to attach exit number and supplemental panels to extrusheet signs. Use aluminum bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts to assemble extrusheet signs shipped in two pieces. Tighten nuts and lock nuts using hand tools only. Do not use pneumatic, hydraulic, battery, electric or other power-assisted tools.

630.08Sign Shipment and Storage. Package and ship finished flat sheet signs to assure

adequate protection of the sign face, using methods and materials as recommended by the reflective sheeting manufacturer. 561 Ship extrusheet signs up to 8 feet (2.4 m) high completely assembled.
