Sign for T-Intersections

MUTCD Section 2C.38 Two-Direction Large Arrow Sign (W1-7)

T-intersections are often improperly signed. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) specifies the W1-7 Sign (at right) for the T-intersection. It says:

• The Two-Direction Large Arrow (W1-7) sign shall be a horizontal rectangle.

• If used, it shall be installed on the far side of a T-intersection in line with, and at approximately a right angle to, approaching traffic.

• The Two-Direction Large Arrow sign shall not be used where there is no change in the direction of travel, such as at the beginning and end of medians or at center piers.

• The Two-Direction Large Arrow sign should be visible for a sufficient distance to provide the road user with adequate time to react to the intersection configuration.
