All,
At the end of last week, ODOT installed “No Parking” signs along the frontage of Stoneplace Apartments. They are doing an internal verification that the direction the signs were placed is correct, but they should be enforceable right away.
For your reference, the following is the MUTCD language for placement of signs:
Section 2B.48 Placement of Parking, Stopping, and Standing Signs
Guidance:
01 When signs with arrows are used to indicate the extent of the restricted zones, the signs should be set at an
angle of not less than 30 degrees or more than 45 degrees with the line of traffic flow in order to be visible to
approaching traffic.
02 Spacing of signs should be based on legibility and sign orientation.
03 If the zone is unusually long, signs showing a double arrow should be used at intermediate points within
the zone.
Standard:
04 If the signs are mounted at an angle of 90 degrees to the curb line, two signs shall be mounted back
to back at the transition point between two parking zones, each with an appended THIS SIDE OF SIGN
(R7-202P) supplemental plaque.
Guidance:
05 If the signs are mounted at an angle of 90 degrees to the curb line, signs without any arrows or appended
plaques should be used at intermediate points within a parking zone, facing in the direction of approaching
traffic. Otherwise the standards of placement should be the same as for signs using directional arrows.
Note: I also looked at the Oregon Supplement to the MUTCD and there are no revisions to Section 2B.48. Thanks.
