Guide Signs
Guide signs may indicate what road you are on, and how to get to
your destination. Many guide signs are rectangular, but some have
other shapes. There are several different kinds of guide signs — route
markers, information, destination, distance, and location signs. These
signs may be accompanied by a “To” sign or an arrow, indicating the
highway, facility, or location that can be reached by following the signs.
Here are some examples:
