Preliminary Guidelines for Signing on Toll Facilities

A review of current practices for signing on toll facilities is presented. A new chapter for the Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices includes route markers, advisory plaques, guide signs, and independent route assemblies. Typical layout drawings for the variety of toll facilities are also included. Research activities regarding the comprehension of the signs in the new chapter included eight focus groups in three Texas cities which explored driver understanding of toll road traffic operations and payment options.
