GUIDE SIGNS DESIGN AND APPLICATION


PREFACE

This Arahan Teknik: (Jalan) 2E/87 - "Guide Sign Design And Application" - is an addition to the

Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2/85 series on "Manual on Traffic Control Devices" which was published in

1986. It is to be used for the design and application of guide signs. Nevertheless there are partsof this Arahan Teknik which not only include, but add information on standard traffic signs i.e.

regulatory, warning and temporary signs. Since this Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2E/87 has in parts

superseded Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2A/85 and Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2B/85, it must therefore be

read or used in conjunction with them. Attached within is also a summary of addendums and

amendments to both the Arahan Tekniks mentioned.

It must be noted that the sign design and application standard indicated in this Arahan Teknik and

those others in series 2/85 are to be followed at all times.

This Arahan Teknik. (Jalan) 2E/87 will be updated from time to time and in this respect any feed-

back from users will be most welcome. Any comments should be sent to Cawangan Jalan, Ibu

Pejabat JKR, Kuala Lumpur

1.1 Purpose Of Traffic Signs

The purposeof traffic signs is to help

ensure the safe and informed operation

of every road user on the highway.

Traffic sign, are used to regulate, warn,

or guide road users. They are essential

where special regulations apply at

specific times only, or where hazards are

not self-evident. They also give

information as to highway routes,

directions, destinations and places of

interest.

1.2 General Principles Of TrafficSigns

The following general principles are the

most important requirements to consider

in order to achieve the greatest

efficiency of traffic signs:

a) The signs must be designed for the

foreseeable traffic condition and

speeds on the roads on which they are

to be used.

b) The signs should be conspicuous so

that they will attract the attention of

drivers at a sufficient distance and

should be easily recognizable as

traffic signs at that distance.

c) The signs should contain only

essential information and their

significance should be clear at a

glance so that the driver's attentionis not distracted from the task of

driving.

d) The signs should be legible from

sufficiently far away to be read with

out diverting the sight through too

great an angle.

e) The signs should be placed so that

they are obscured as little as possible

by vehicles and other objects.

f) The signs should be designed and

the driver is left with sufficient time

to take any necessary action with

safety.

g) The signs should be effective both

by night and day. The critical factors

in meeting these requirements are

colour, shape and size of sign,

lettering and symbol sizes used,

layout of its face, its position and illumination or reflectorization.

1.3 Classification of Traffic Signs

Functionally, traffic signs are generally

classified into the following types :

a) Regulatory Signs

b) Warning Signs

c) Temporary Signs

d) Guide Signs

i. Destination Signs

ii. Directional Signs

iii. Distance Signs

iv. Information Signs

v. Route Number Markers

vi. Kilometer Posts

e) Other Traffic Signs Gantry Signs ThisArahan Teknik only covers the design

and application of guide signs.The

guidelines for the design and

application of regulatory, warning and

temporary signs are covered by

Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2A, 2S and

2C/85 respectively while that for

gantry sign will be covered by

another Arahan Teknik.


PART ONE: GENERAL ON TRAFFIC SIGNS





PART TWO: GENERAL DESIGN

CONSIDERATION ON TRAFFIC

SIGNS.

2.1 Colours Of Traffic Signs

Colour plays an important role in

distinguishing the nature of one traffic

sign from another such that road users

may not only recognize the traffic sign

as such but may also perceive a general

idea of the information before they

reach the point at which the message on

the sign becomes readable.

Sets of colour combination used for the

various type of traffic signs are shown inTable 2.1. The colour codes and

coordinates indicated in Appendix E

have been established and identified for

use on traffic signs and posts.

2.2 Letterings And Borders On

Traffic Signs

Three types of lettering and two types of

border are used on traffic signs. The

letterings used are standard letteringSeries 1, Series 2 and Lower Case with

height -stroke width ratio 1:5,1:7.5 and

1:4 respectively while the borders used

are the light coloured extended to the

edge and the dark coloured set-in from

the edge types.

Standard letterings are shown in

Appendix A. Types and sizes of

letterings and borders used for the

various type of traffic signs are shown in

Table 2.2 and 2.3.

2.3 Symbols On Traffic Signs

The two types of symbols used on

traffic signs are directional and

information symbols. Directional

symbols are those that indicate

directions while information symbols

are those that provide information with

out the use of word messages.

Sizes and templates of standard

symbols used on traffic signs are

shown in Appendix A. Types and usesof directional symbols are shown in

Table 2.4.

Information symbols which may in

some ways indicate the direction of

travel, such as the aeroplane, should be

used with caution.

2.4 Post And Mounting Of Traffic

Signs

Traffic signs should be installed

according to the requirements of Arahan

Teknik (Jalan) 2B/85. Traffic sign posts

shall be of steel posts of not less than

62mm outside diameter, and painted

with alternating black and white

stripes/bands of 300mm intervals.

Traffic signal posts, on the other hand,

should be painted with alternating black

and orange stripes/bands. It should be

noted that the first stripe/band from theground level for both posts is always

painted black. The back of every traffic

sign shall be painted grey and on it a

template with the date the sign was

manufactured arid: the naive of the

maufacturer shall be stated clearly.

Traffic signs exceeding 1.00m in any

dimension shall be stiffened by the

attachment of backing frames. Purlins

shall be required for those traffic signsexceeding 1.50m in any dimension.






2.5 Materials Used Or Traffic

Signs

The following are the trio types of

material to be used on traffic signs:

a) Retro-reflective sheeting

b) Screening ink

2.5.1 Retro-reflective Sheeting.

Retro-reflective sheeting a material

consisting of one or more retro-

reflective elements embedded within

a transparent film having a smooth,

flat outer surface.Two types of

retro-reflective sheeting that have

been established and identified for

use on traffic signs are High

Intensity and Engineering Grade

retro-reflective sheetings. Both these

sheetings are available in sheets and

rolls with either heat activated-or

pressure sensitive adhesive. Heat

activated , adhesive sheeting are

bonded to sign substrate by means of

the vacuum-heat application method

with the heat Lamp vacuum

applicator while bonding of pressure

sensitive adhesive sheeting to sign

substrates is by the application of

pressure with hand roller, rubber

squeegee, hand or electrically

powered squeeze roll applicator.

Types of retro-reflective sheeting to

be used on the various type of traffic

signs are stated in the notes of Table2.1.

2.5.2 Screening Ink

Screening ink is a transparent or

opaque coloured ink of non-

reflective element which is used at

times on retro-reflective sheetings to provide colour fast pigmentation.

Screening ink cannot be affective,

and thus cannot be used on traffic

signs, unless it is first applied on a

retro-reflective sheeting by means of

the silk screen process. It should be

noted that a screening ink of one

brand that has been specified for use

on one type retro-reflective sheeting

cannot be screened over another

brand or type of retro-reflective

sheeting.

The use of screening inks is to be

limited only to standard traffic signs

(regulatory, warning and temporary).

lettering used may be reduced to 3/4 of the recommended letter height and the place name

may also be abbreviated if it uses any of the abbreviated words listed in Appendix C .

3. A long place name may have the words placed one on top of another with a vertical spacing

of I/2 of the recommended letter height between them and the first letter of the words an the

bottom row indented 3/4 of the recommended letter height away from the first letter of the

words on the upper row. This method should not be used in Conjunction with (2) above and a

not required when the recommended letter height is 100 mm or less .

4. For safety reasons, borders and corners of sign should be rounded on a radius approximately1/16 of the lesser side dimension, but not to exceed 300mm

TYPE OF DIRECTIONALSYMBOLS

USES

1. DIRECTIONAL ARROWS a) Used on stack type signs.

b) Can be made to paint horizontally, Vertically orat 45'c) If there is more than one arrowthe arrangement must be in anti - clockwisedirection as shown in table 2.5

2. DIAGRAMATIC POINTERS a) Used on map type signs.

b) Should only be used for roundabouts andother more complicated interchanges.

3. GANTRY ARROWS a) Used on overhead signs.

b) Can only be used for lane control on highspeed multilane highways.

TABLE 2.4 : DIRECTIONAL SYMBOLS






TABLE 2.5 : ARRANGEMENT OF DIRECTIONAL ARROWS IN

DESCENDING ORDER





3.1 General

The place names on all, guide signsshall be limited to those in Appendix B

only. Except for directional signs within

town limits, where the next state capital

should be shown, all other guide signs

shall show the next immediate place

names as indicated in Appendix B.

3.2 Destinat ion Signs

Destination signs are signs which give aroad user the information as to his route

before he reaches a major turning

roadway or junction leading to any of the

place names listed in Appendix B when

travelling on Highways and

Expressways. They should be located at a

distance lkm and 500m in advance of the

turning roadways or junctions.

Layout design and application of

destination signs are shown in Figure

3.1and Appendix D respectively.

3.3 Directional Signs

Directional signs are signs which give a

road user his route information as he

reaches a turning roadway or junction.

Two types of directional sign are the

stack type and the map type signs.

Layout design and application of directional signs are shown in Figure 3.2

and Appendix D respectively.

3.4 Distance Signs

Distance signs are signs which give a

road user his route confirmation and

distance information after leaving a city

or municipality, and after maneuvering

into a turning roadway or juntion

leading to any of the place names listed

in Appendix B when traveling on

Highway and Expressway. Distance

signs should be located at the following

location :

a) 200m from a turning roadway or 150m beyond an acceleration

lane.

b) 100m outside the city or

municipality limits or at the edge

of the built-up districts.

c) 20km intervals along the route.

Layout design and application of

distance signs are shown Figure 3.3 and Appendix D respectively.

3.5 Information Signs

Information signs are. signs which

inform road users of the names of town

and villages, recreational and

historical/cultural places, the availability

of facilities or services, and remind them

of road etiquette, etc. that have very

little or no relation to giving routeinformation.

Information signs may be either

symbols or word messages, and shall be

erected according to the nature of the

information to be given. Types and uses

of information signs are shown in Figure

3.4 to Figure 3.14.


PART THREE : LAYOUT DESIGN AND APPLICATION OF GUIDE SIGNS






FIG 3.1 : LAYOUT DESIGN OF DESTINATION SIGNS

LEGEND : H : height of capital letter used. (Series I)

a,b,c : Distances showing that words or symbols must be centralized.






NOTE :

1) Not more than 4 names should be used in combination but only 2 names can be shown

per route or direction.

2) Route numbers should he placed on the left side of place names.

3) Places of great interest that do not have their names listed in Appendix B such as Taman

Negara, Genting Highlands, Desaru etc. may also be shown provided the routes to these places coincide with the routes to those listed ones.

4) Sign A and B are examples of destination signs at junctions wide Sign C is an example of

destination signs at interchanges.






FIG.3.2 LAYOUT DESIGN OF DIRECTIONAL SIGNS

LEGEND :

H : height of capital letter used. (Series I)

a,b,c, d : Distances showing that words or symbols must be centralized.



Guide Signs Design And ApplicationFOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

NOTE :

1) Not more than 5 names should be used in combination (except for round abouts with more

than 6 legs) but only 2 names can be shown per direction.

2) Route numbers should be placed on the left side of place names.

3) Unlike on destination and distance signs, places of great interest that do not have their names

listed in Appendix B may not be shown on directional signs. These places should be shown

as information signs mounted on the same posts. ( see Fig. 3.2)

4) The destination shown per direction should be the next principal destination i.e the next state

capital for those within a town limit, rather than a more distance one. If there are two

destinations per direction, the nearer one should be placed on top of any other farther away.

5) A place name can only appear once on the same signs.

6) All directional signs on JKR roads leading to LLM expressways must be white letters /border/

symbol on green background as shown by Sign A

7) All directional sign on JKR roads leading is roads within a local council (local streets with

street names) must have yellow letters for the street name as shown bellow by Sign B.

8) LLM expressway logo which is white in color should be shown and Iocated opposite the

directional arrow on directional signs leading to LLM expressways.






FIG. 3.2A : AN EXAMPLE OF DIRECTIONAL SIGN AND INFORMATION

SIGN MOUNTED THE SAME POSTS.

NOTE :

1) The example above shown a directional sign and on information sign (in this case a

recreational area sign ) mounted on the same posts.

2) Information signs mounted this way must always adhere to the following requirements:

a) The height of the capital letter used should be equal to that used for the directional sign.

b) The information sign must always be mounted below the directional sign. If there are

more than one, the information signs should be placed on a separate panel whereby the

anti-clockwise arrow convention should be followed.






FIG. 3.3 : LAYOUT DESIGN OF DISTANCE SIGNS

LEGEND :

H = height of capital letter used (Series 1)

a,b = distances showing that words or symbols must be centralized.






NOTE :

1) Not more than 5 names should be used in combination but only 3 names can be shown per

route.

2) Distances should be shown an the right side of place names.

3) On-the-route route marker should be attached to the top at the sign and on and off-the-route

route number should be placed on the left side of the on and off-the route place names.

4) The nearer on-the-route destination should be placed as top of any on-the-route destination

farther away.

5) Destination(s) with the nearer off-the-route junction should be placed on top of any destination

with the off -the-route junction farther away.

6) Places of great interest that do not have their names listed in Appendix B such as Taman

Negara, Genting Highlands, Desaru etc. may also be shown provided the routes to these

places coincide with the routes to those listed ones.

7) Only the route marker attached to the top of the sign is required if there is no off-the-route

placed names as shown above by sign A.





3.6 Route Number Markers

Route Number Markers are markers

which identify and mark all numbered

roads.

They are used for identification of roads,

for route confirmation and for guidance

and reassurance along the road .In State

roads, the route number markers should

be initiated with the same alphabet

designated on car registration numbers

which has already been assigned for that

particular state.

Unlike other guide signs, route markers

are ordinarily incorporated in the shape

of JKR logo, for Federal and State

roads, and due to their application, have

three fixed sizes. The relationship

between sizes and other details of routemarkers is shown in Table 3.2. Layout

design and application of route markers

are shown in Figure 3.15 to Fig. 3.16

and Appendix D respectively.

NOTE : This table shows the spacings between Lower Case letters before theyare factored.






Spacing Factor

Example:

To determine spacing between 120mm ‘e’ followed by ‘r’ in Lower Case:

From Table A.4 , spacing for ‘e’ followed by ‘r’ = 200mm

From Table A.5, factor for 120mm

Lower Case = 0.250

Required spacing = 200 x 0.250= 50 mm

NOTE : This calculation of spacing between Lower Case letters is notrequired when letter mosaic is used. Hence, this calculation isonly necessary when Lower Case letters are not used withthose of Series 1
