2C-11 Cross Road Sign (W2-1) The Cross Road sign is intended for use on a through highway to indicate the presence of an obscured crossroad intersection. It is net ordinarily used where Junction signing (secs. 2D-14, 2D-29) or advance route turn assembly signs (sec. 2D-30) are present. The relative importance of the intersecting roads may be shown by different widths of line in the diagram. The diagram for a crossroad intersection with a slight offset should indicate that the side roads are not opposite each other. If the crossroad occurs in the vicinity of a curve the symbol may be modified appropri- ately. W2-1 30'~ x 30" 2C-12 Side Road Sign (W2-2, W2-3) The Side Road sign, showing a side-road symbol, either left or right, and at an angle of either 90 or 45 degrees, is intended for use in advance of a side-road intersection according to the same warrants as set forth for the Cross Road sign (sec. 2C-11). The relative importance of the intersecting roads may be shown b~ different widths of line in the diagram. If the side road occurs in the vicinity of a curve the symbol may be modLfied appropriately. 2C-6 W2-2 W2-3 30~ x 30'~ 30" x 30" 2C-13 T Symbol Sign (W2-4) The T symbol sign is intended for use to warn traffic approaching a T- intersection on the road that forms the stem of the T, i.e., where traffic must make a turn either to the right or to the left. The sign should not generally be used on an approach where traffic is required to stop before entering the intersection, nor at a T-intersection that is channel- ized by traffic islands, nor where Junction signing or Advance Turn Arrows are present. The relative importance of the intersecting roads may be shown by different widths of line in the diagram.
