For such exits that involve the addition of an auxiliary lane that is not present at the Advance Guide sign locations, but do not involve a lane drop (see Figure 2E-12), a sequence of post-mounted or overhead-mounted Advance Guide signs should be used, located in accordance with the interchange classification (see Section 2E.32).

The width across the arrowhead for the Types A, B, and C directional arrows should be between 1.5 and 1.75 times the height of the upper-case letters of the principal legend on the sign. Furthermore, on tangent roadway sections, increasing pavement width and roadside clear zone results in a decrease in speed dispersion, while speed limit, highway grade, and presence of an intersection are associated with an increase in speed dispersion. Interchange Sequence signs located in the median shall be installed at overhead sign height (see. This increases the importance of signs that call for decisions or actions. 02 For streets that are part of a U.S., State, or county numbered route, a D3-1a Street Name sign (see Figure 2D-10) that incorporates a route shield may be used to assist road users who might not otherwise be able to associate the name of the street with the route number.
