GUIDE SIGNS FOR THE PERIMETER HIGHWAY

TRAFFIC SIGN DESIGN AND PRODUCTION FOR THE PERIMETER HIGHWAY AROUND WINNIPEG, MANITOBA ARE DESCRIBED. THE SIGNING WAS DESIGNED TO FREEWAY STANDARDS USING THE AASHO MANUAL FOR SIGNING AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS OF INTER-STATE HIGHWAYS. THE SIGNS WERE MADE OF ALUMINUM PANELS FACED WITH REFLECTIVE SHEETING. THE FACTORS GOVERNING THE SELECTION OF THESE MATERIALS ARE GIVEN TOGETHER WITH THE RESULTS OF SOME SIMPLE NIGHT OBSERVANCE TESTS. THE DESIGN OF BOTH THE OVER- HEAD AND GROUND LEVEL SIGN SUPPORTS IS DESCRIBED TOGETHER WITH THE WIND LOAD VALUES AND FOUNDATION DETAILS. CONTRACTS WERE GIVEN FOR THE FABRICATION AND ERECTION OF THE SIGNS. /CGRA/
