Abstract:

A common issue during phased highway

construction projects is the need to temporarily

relocate large guide signs on the roadside or install

new guide signs for temporary use. Many of these

signs are larger than 100 ft2 in size and cannot be

accommodated on small sign supports. The

conventional concrete foundations used for large

guide signs are costly and time consuming to

install and remove. They are often left in place,

creating problems for mowing and maintenance.

This project developed a series of design standards

for mounting temporary guide signs that are cost

effective, crashworthy, and capable of

accommodating wind load requirements. The “Give

Us a Brake” sign, which has an area of 128 ft2,

served as a good basis for designs developed.
