SECTION       7    : SIGNS, SIGNALS & MARKINGS


        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:


                                                                                         75
