Sign Structures Manual Section 1 - Introduction
Section 1 - Introduction
1.1 Purpose
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation’s “Manual on Uniform

Traffic Control Devices” (MUTCD)(adopted from the FHWA Manual with
addenda), “The purpose of traffic control devices, as well as the principles for
their use, is to promote highway safety and efficiency by providing for the orderly
movement of all road users on streets and highways throughout the Nation.
Traffic control devices notify road users of regulations and provide warning and
guidance needed for the reasonably safe, uniform, and efficient operation of all
elements of the traffic stream.”
This manual provides a basis for traffic engineers or technicians to select

standard sign structures and prepare sign structure plan sheets without the
involvement of a structural engineer. The Bureau of Bridges and Structures
(BBS) prepares and administers the “Sign Structures Manual.”
1.2 Sign Structure Styles
The MUTCD and other IDOT policies govern the number, types, locations and
geometries of required traffic signs. The MUTCD doesn’t always specify styles
of structures to support the signs, so the plan preparer must consider site
conditions and limitations, economy and future demands. The following styles of
sign structures are included in this Manual:
1. Span Sign Structures (aluminum and steel box, steel trichord truss)
2. Cantilever Sign Structures (aluminum and steel box truss)
3. Bridge Mounted Sign Structures
4. Monotube Sign Structures (single and dual)
5. Breakaway Wide Flange and Tubular Steel Signposts
6. Butterfly Sign Structures (aluminum truss)
June 2012 1-1

Traffic signal mast arm and standard light pole structures may carry small
signage, but are not defined as, or included with sign structures. The primary
use of traffic signal mast arms is supporting signals and lights, but standard
designs include small guide and street signs within the limitations given on
Highway Standards. Plan preparers must consult with District Operations before
considering additional signage. Standard light pole designs do not include any
signage, although they sometimes carry small speed limit or guide signs.
Operation’s approval is still required before adding signs to light poles.
1.3 Economic Considerations
Sign size and location with respect to traffic lanes are the governing factors in
sign structure selection. Other local considerations may mandate selection of
specific structures (e.g., cantilever and span sign structures) even if more
economical sign structures could support the required signs. According to the
MUTCD, restraints which may influence this decision are: traffic volume at or
near capacity; complex interchange design; multiple lanes in each direction;
restricted sight distance; closely spaced interchanges; multi-lane exits; large
percentage of trucks; street lighting in background; high speed traffic;
consistency of sign message location through a series of interchanges;
insufficient space for ground mounted signs; junction of an interstate route with
another freeway and left exit ramps.
Engineering judgment is necessary to provide economy while ensuring

appropriate sign structure parameters as described in the MUTCD. For
example, if the MUTCD stipulates sign placement 100 feet before an exit ramp
and an overpass fascia beam occurs 90 feet before the ramp, using a bridge-
mount sign structure on the overpass in lieu of constructing a span or cantilever
sign structure is reasonable compliance with MUTCD guidance.
1-2 June 2012

For large contracts with several sign locations, group sign structures by type (I-A,
II-C-A, etc.) and length. For economical fabrication, avoid slight variations in
truss length and consider making all trusses the same length as much as
possible within a contract.
1.4 Discontinued Designs
BBS discontinued some sign structure designs due to structural and/or economic
considerations. Most notably was the 1994 suspension of the painted (brown)
tubular steel Vierendeel cantilever and span sign structures. Vierendeel
structures are not recommended for use on future contracts unless essential
either to match existing adjacent structures or for other overriding considerations
on specific projects. If Vierendeels are proposed, submit plans to the BBS for
review well in advance of the letting. Alternate base plate details that will match
existing Vierendeel anchor bolt patterns are available for the aluminum span and
cantilever designs. If replacement of Vierendeels becomes necessary, and
inspections of existing foundations find them serviceable, use the aluminum,
steel or trichord designs with alternate post details.
1.5 General
The edition of AASHTO “Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for

Highway Signs, Luminaires and Traffic Signals” (AASHTO) current at the date
shown on the base sheets governs design and the IDOT Standard Specifications
for Road and Bridge Construction current at the time of the project’s
advertisement for letting, controls construction.
For best efficiency, avoid selecting a larger than necessary truss type. Unless
the proposed total sign area is near the maximum for a given truss type or there
is a significant possibility that more sign area will be added in the near future,
June 2012 1-3

select truss type based on span length, total sign area and maximum end
support height, as detailed in this manual.
Design of the sign structures includes dead loads, wind loads, and ice loads.
AASHTO combines loads into groups, and the combination producing the
maximum effect proportions each element of the structure. The three group
loads are Dead Load (Group I), Dead Load plus Wind (Group II), and Dead Load
plus Ice plus 1/2 Wind (Group III). Group II and Group III load combinations
allow increasing member stresses by 33 percent.
Design of the vertical end supports for the sign structures considers the effects
of wind in any direction and locating the signs near one end. AASHTO requires
factoring wind loads into normal and transverse components that act on the
supports simultaneously. The basic load (BL) of wind on the structure includes
horizontal loads applied at the geometric centers of the respective areas,
distributed accordingly to the structure components. Combination 1 is 1.0 x BL
(normal to sign) and 0.2 x BL (parallel to sign), while Combination 2 is 0.6 x BL
(normal to sign) and 0.3 x BL (parallel to sign). Combination loads distribute
equally among supports assuming the maximum permitted design sign area,
except for special installations. In addition to the preceding, the Fatigue Design
section of the AASHTO specification applies to cantilever and butterfly sign
structures.
1.6 Foundations
The spread footing dimension “M” and drilled shaft foundation depth “B” depend
on common cohesive soils (silty or sandy clay). Standard foundation dimensions
require a minimum average unconfined compressive strength (Qu) below the
bottom of the spread footing and for all strata within and below the “B” portion of
the drilled shaft. Soil exploration prior to plan development is required to
determine actual Qu at or near the proposed foundations’ location and confirm
1-4 June 2012

foundation parameters. If average Qu values are less than the value specified
on the foundation standards, then the sign structure foundation will require a
special design. The drilled shaft foundation alternative is more economical and
better suited for the majority of site conditions encountered.
Site conditions that may preclude using drilled shaft foundations are rock strata
within the shaft depth, unsuitable soil conditions at the site (e.g. boulders, low Qu
or collapsing/cohesionless sand) or drilling obstructions from existing utilities,
adjacent buildings or appurtenances. The presence of such conditions may
require a spread footing or pile-supported foundation.
Site conditions that may preclude using spread footing foundations include
unsuitable soil conditions at the site (e.g. loess and organic, compressible soils),
excavation restrictions with existing utilities, infrastructure or adjacent right-of-
way or permeable soils with high water table above the footing base. Borings
revealing such conditions may require drilled shaft foundations. For either a
special design or review of consultant’s special design, submit soil-boring data,
site plans and proposed sign structure plans to the BBS.
1.7 Non-Standard Designs
Design of the sign structures in this Manual is limited to standard extruded

aluminum sign panels as defined in the Standard Specifications, or dynamic-
variable message signs as defined herein, with maximum dimensions within the
limits shown. When proposed sign installations exceed these limits or alternate
sign structure styles are required, submit plans prepared by a structural engineer
well in advance of the letting to the BBS for review and/or approval. Examples of
non-standard designs include sign areas, end support heights, weights or span
lengths exceeding the maximum allowable dimensions or custom designed, non-
tapered, long span, rigid frame monotubes for SPUDI projects.
June 2012 1-5

Installations using changeable / dynamic / variable message sign cabinets use

only span Type III-A or III-S structures, or butterfly structures with the sign
cabinet centered on the column.
1.8 Sign Structure Number
Each sign structure (span, cantilever, butterfly, monotube and bridge mounted
only) in the state is assigned a fifteen digit structure number used to identify the
type and location of each structure. Plan preparers must establish a structure
number for all new sign structures and enter it into the tables located on several
of the sign structure standards. To ensure accuracy and consistency,
consultants should check with the District office before assigning a sign structure
number. The fifteen-digit number is composed of seven segments of information
as follows:
Structure Number 1 S 022 I 355 L 048.6

Segment 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Segment 1. One number that indicates the District (1 through 9) in which the
sign structure is located.
Segment 2. One letter indicating the style of sign structure as follows:
B Bridge Mounted Sign Structures

C Cantilever Sign Structures
F Butterfly Sign Structures
M Monotube Sign Structures
S Span Sign Structures
1-6 June 2012

The Cantilever (C) and Span (S) designations include aluminum, steel, trichord
and Vierendeel design styles. District offices should use only these
designations, but include the style with “type of structure” in databases.
Segment 3. Three numbers that list the county location of the sign structure
as follows:
County Numbers

Segment 4. One letter indicating the type of road on which the sign structure
is located:
June 2012 1-7

I Interstate highways
L Local routes
N Non-marked routes
S State highways
U U.S. numbered highways
B Business routes
Segment 5. Three numbers or letters that list the highway or abbreviate the
named route on which the sign structure is located, for example:
067 U.S. Highway 67

155 Interstate Highway 155
WIL Willow Road
Segment 6. One letter, “L” or “R” describes the side of the highway over
which the sign structure is primarily located. The right or left side
of the highway is always determined when standing between the
opposing traffic lanes facing in the direction of the increasing
milepost markers. Milepost markers normally increase from
West to East and South to North. If the sign structure spans
over all lanes and/or has signs facing both directions, use “R” as
the default.
Segment 7. The last segment is four numbers plus a decimal point indicating
the milepost or estimated milepost nearest the location of the
sign structure to the nearest tenth of a mile.
For example, Structure Number 1S022I355L030.2 is a Span Sign Structure,

located in District 1, in DuPage County, on Interstate 355, on the left side, at
milepost marker 030.2.

1.9 CADD Instructions
Digitized CADD plans are available through the IDOT web site. Use the base
sheets in these libraries by, first, attaching and placing the Design Border Cell
(C00010 in “bridge.cel” library), then, attaching the desired base sheet cell(s).
Do not attempt to use the plan sheets presented in this Manual. Prior to
preparing a set of plans, always check the BBS link at the IDOT website for the
most recently updated cell libraries.
These base sheets facilitate efficient production of sign structure plans for
planners, designers and technicians. All the details given in the cell libraries for
each sheet must be included without omission or alteration. The only additions
necessary are completing the tables based on criteria for truss and support
member dimensions, field data regarding elevations and offsets and contract
specific information in the tables and the upper and lower right hand corners of
the plans. Consultants may also add their name or logo to the box in the lower
right hand corner. Coordination with the BBS is required prior to preparing a set
of plans, for projects with special details not covered by the cell libraries.

Sign Structures Manual Section 2 - Design
Section 2 - Design
2.1 Aluminum Span Sign Structures
When the MUTCD warrants overhead signs, aluminum span sign structures are
the standard used by IDOT for freeway and expressway guide signing. Span
sign structures are the least economical sign structure type. The plan preparer
should consider all MUTCD governing factors and alternatives before selecting
overhead spans. Use the following procedures and policies when preparing
plans:
1. Determine the 15-digit sign structure number and the station.
2. Determine the location of the sign over the roadway, distance from the right
foundation to edge of pavement (D), design span length (center to center
support frames to nearest even foot), proposed height of sign(s) (Ds), total
sign area and roadway cross section/Elevation A for point of minimum
clearance to sign structure (sign, sign bracket, walkway support, or truss).
3. With the design span length and total sign area, select type of truss and truss
member sizes from the following table on page 2.1-2. Design of each
structure listed in the table accounts for the maximum span length, total sign
area, and maximum end support height. Always choose the next largest
structure design that will meet all three parameters. For example, a project
requires a 70 ft. span with 560 sq. ft. total sign area and 28 ft. maximum end
support height. Because the total sign area is greater than the 550 square
feet maximum for the second 70 ft. span in the table, choose a 70 ft. span,
Type I-A structure using the members and foundation dimensions for the 80
ft. span, Type I-A. In addition, since total sign area is already significant,
consider using the 90-foot Type I-A or the 90-foot Type II-A design for more
June 2012 2.1-1

future additional sign capacity. Before making a final structure selection,

complete Step 4 for end support height.

2.1-2 June 2012

4. Determine height dimensions H and A and final pipe size for each support
frame using the following criteria:
(a) Minimum vertical clearance is 17 feet 3 inches from Elevation A to sign,

walkway support, or truss.
(b) Top of foundation above grade elevation is a minimum of 2 feet and a

maximum of 4 feet 6 inches for spread footings and a minimum of 2 feet
and a maximum of 3 feet 6 inches for dual drilled shafts, as shown on
the plans.
(c) Use a minimum sign height of 15’-0” to calculate the end support heights.
To calculate H for a span structure with walkway brackets: To Elevation
A, add 17’ 3”, plus 1’ 3” (8” for DMS), plus 7’-6” or half the height of the
tallest sign (whichever is greater), plus half the truss height, plus 7 ½”,
minus top of foundation elevation, minus 2”.
(d) If the height dimension H exceeds the maximum end support height
allowed for the selected truss design, choose a truss design with the
appropriate maximum end support height. For example, if the 70 ft. span
with 560 sq. ft. total sign area requires a 30 ft. maximum end support
height, choose a 70 ft. span Type I-A structure using the members and
foundation dimensions designed for the 90 ft. span Type I-A structure,
which allows up to a 31 ft. end support height.
There may be situations where tall signs are required and the end
support is taller than the maximum height allowed for Type I-A and II-A
structures. For these cases, make the following adjustments to the
column wall thickness:
June 2012 2.1-3

If a Type I-A structure requires an end support height greater than 31

feet and up to 35 feet, use 10-inch diameter by 0.365-inch wall thickness
pipes for the end supports. For a Type II-A structure with a height
greater than 31 feet up to 35 feet, use a pipe 10-inch diameter by 0.500-
inch wall thickness.
5. With the corresponding truss type and chord size entered, select splicing
flange details from the following charts:
Type I-A Truss Use chart on page 2.1-9

Type II-A Truss Use chart on page 2.1-11
Type III-A Truss Use chart on page 2.1-13
Note: When completing the table on base sheet OS4-A-2 under “Splicing
Flange”, “Bolts”, “No. /Splice”, enter 6 or 8.
6. Using the proposed span length, select camber at mid-span of truss from the
following charts:
Type I-A Truss Use chart on page 2.1-10

Type II-A Truss Use chart on page 2.1-12
Type III-A Truss Use chart on page 2.1-14
For shorter spans, not included on the camber graphs:

Minimum AASHTO Camber = L (in.)/1000.
7. Determine the number of exterior and interior truss units required. Use the
minimum number of units for each truss, keeping the maximum unit length at
approximately 40 feet or less. For example, use only two exterior units for a
design length (L) of 80 feet, even though one or both may be slightly greater
than 40 feet. Calculate exterior unit panel spacing (P) by dividing the Unit
2.1-4 June 2012

Length (Le) minus 22.5 inches ( 1 inch), by the number of panels. Calculate
interior unit panel spacing (P) by dividing the Unit Length (Li) minus 15 inches,
by number of panels. The minimum panel spacing for all truss types is 4 feet.
Maximum panel spacing is 5.0 feet for Type I-A trusses and 5 feet 6 inches
for type II-A and III-A trusses.
To maintain the pattern of the vertical diagonals, single interior units must
have an even number of panels per unit while exterior units may have an odd
or even number of panels. When two interior units are used, each interior
unit may have an odd or even number of panels, resulting in an even number
for all interior units combined. For ease of fabrication and the most
economical design, all panels on a truss should be the same length. Tables
of recommended dimensions are on pages 2.1-15, 2.1-16 and 2.1-17. For
Type III-A structures less than 100 feet in length use the Type II-A tables.
8. Obtain soil-boring data and determine the average Qu per Section 1.6 at the
bottom of the spread footing or for all strata within and below the “B” portion
of the dual drilled shaft foundation. If average and minimum Q u values meet
the requirements of Section 1.6, use dimension “M” for the spread footing or
the depth “B” for dual drilled shaft foundations from the selected sign
structure design in the table on page 2.1-2. Dimension “N” may be
determined from the spread footing foundation standards OS-F1, OS-F2, OS-
F3 or OS-F4 and the soil boring data. As described in Section 1.6, if average
and minimum Qu values do not meet the requirements, the BBS must provide
a special design.
9. With the information from Steps 4(b) and 8, and/or information obtained from
the BBS, determine the spread footing or drilled shaft vertical limits (Elevation
Top, Elevation Bottom), dimensions “M” and “N” for a spread footing
foundation or dimensions “A”, “B”, and “F” for a dual drilled shaft foundation.
June 2012 2.1-5

The traffic barrier shaped foundations on sheets OS4-MED or OS4-MED2 are

required for all new span overhead sign structure end supports located within
medians of divided highways.
10. Walkway and/or truss grating have two alternate sets of plans: 1-1/2 inch
deep aluminum grating and galvanized steel plank grating. The plan preparer
should consult District personnel for grating preference and select the correct
sheets. Walkway grating should cover the full width of all signs and extend a
minimum of 4 feet past the edge of pavement into the shoulder unless the
shoulder width is less than 10 feet. If shoulder width is less than 10 feet or if
the structure is on a low speed ramp, the walkway grating may begin at edge
of pavement, while still covering the full width of all signs. Truss inspection
grating extends full length of the truss, unless specifically exempted by the
District and BBS. For projects that omit front walkway and lighting, details
provide the option of plain vertical sign supports in lieu of the L-brackets.
11. For installations using large, heavy-weight dynamic message sign cabinets
which require walkways for door access, use span Type III-A structures only
and make the following walkway sheet substitutions:
Replace: With:
OS-A-9 and/or OS-A-9S OS-A-9-DMS
OS-A-10 and/or OS-A-10S OS-A-10-DMS
OS-A-11 OS-A-11-DMS
12. If the left and right support heights on a structure are not equal, fill in two rows
of the table on the “Support Frame” sheet for that structure, checking the
boxes labeled “Left” and “Right” to designate each end support.
13. Include the “Damping Device” base sheet OS-A-D with all aluminum span
sign structure projects.
2.1-6 June 2012

14. Fill in all tables on applicable base sheets including sign structure number,
station, height of tallest sign, total sign area, support heights and sign bracket
and foundation dimensions.
15. Calculate quantities as needed for foundations and complete the Total Bill of
Material.
16. If the proposed structure is replacing a Vierendeel span on an existing

foundation, contact the BBS for special support frame and foundation designs
and details.
17. Submit proposed designs exceeding dimensional and/or loading limits to the
BBS for special analysis and/or approval.
18. To provide uniformity on all aluminum span sign structure plans, place the
sheets in the following order:
General Plan and Elevation (OS-A-1)

Aluminum Truss Details (OS-A-2 followed by OS4-A-2)
Damping Device (OS-A-D)
Support Frame for applicable Aluminum truss types

2.2 Aluminum Cantilever Sign Structures
When the MUTCD warrants overhead direction signs at single exits and lane
drops on freeways and expressways, aluminum cantilever sign structures are the
standard structure used by IDOT. Cantilever sign structures are usually more
economical than span sign structures, but less economical than bridge mounted
sign structures or breakaway signposts. The plan preparer should consider all
MUTCD governing factors and alternatives before selecting cantilevers.
Do not use cantilever structures for installations with large walk-in changeable /
dynamic / variable message sign cabinets - use only Type III-A or III-S span
structures or butterfly structures with the sign centered on the column. When
small, lightweight, front access LED variable message signs are proposed, use
cantilever sign structures under the following limitations:
Type Maximum Truss Length Maximum VMS Sign Size, Weight
I-C-A 25 feet 4’ H. X 10’ W. X 1’ D. X 1200 lbs.

II-C-A 30 feet 5’ H. X 16’ W. X 1’ D. X 2000 lbs.
III-C-A 40 feet 8’ H. X 30’ W. X 1’-2” D. X 2500 lbs.
Alternate sign dimensions may be acceptable provided the proposed signs don’t
exceed maximum weight and depth limitations and sign areas listed on the base
sheets. Before using signs with alternate dimensions, consult with the BBS.
The use of these deeper signs will result in elimination of lighting and moving the
walkway grating and handrail outward along the horizontal strut of the L-bracket.
District offices may opt for plain sign brackets, with no walkway or lighting.
June 2012 2.2-1

Use the following procedures when preparing plans:
1. Determine the 15-digit sign structure number, station, location of the sign
over the roadway, distance from foundation to edge of pavement (D), design
length (L), proposed height of sign (Ds), sign area and roadway cross
section/Elevation A for point of minimum clearance to lowest point on sign
structure (usually the sign and walkway bracket). Select the appropriate
structure from the three design types shown below:
Maximum Length Maximum Sign Area

Cantilever Type
(feet) (square feet)
I-C-A 25 170
II-C-A 30 340
III-C-A 40 400
With cantilever sign trusses, the maximum sign areas in the table above
apply to any span length for each given truss type. For example, the
maximum sign area for a 28-foot Type II-C-A truss is 340 square feet. For a
32-foot Type III-C-A truss, the maximum sign area is 400 square feet.
2. Determine a constant panel spacing (P) by dividing the centerline column to

end of truss cantilever length (L), minus the centerline column to first vertical
distance (“s”), minus the last vertical to end of truss dimension (3 inches),
into the least whole number of panels. Below are the panel spacing limits
for each structure:
Cantilever Type Panel Spacing (feet)

I-C-A 3.0 minimum to 4.0 maximum
II-C-A 3.5 minimum to 4.5 maximum
III-C-A 4.0 minimum to 5.5 maximum
2.2-2 June 2012

3. Determine the column height (dimension H) using the following criteria:
(a) Minimum vertical clearance is 17 feet 3 inches from Elevation A to

sign, walkway support, or truss.
(b) Top of foundation is a minimum of 2 feet and a maximum of 3 feet 6

inches above grade elevation at centerline of foundation.
(c) The total column height is not to exceed 30 feet, unless allowed by the
BBS. Smaller sign areas on specific projects may allow taller columns.
(d) Use a minimum sign height of 15’-0” to calculate the column height. To
calculate H from bottom of base plate to centerline bottom chord for a
cantilever with walkway brackets: To Elevation A, add 17’ 3” plus 1’ 3”
plus 7’-6” or half the height of the tallest sign (whichever is greater),
minus half the truss height, minus top of foundation elevation, minus
2¾”.
4. Obtain soil-boring data and determine the average Qu per Section 1.6 for all
strata within and below the “B” portion of the drilled shaft foundation. If
average and minimum Qu values meet the requirements of Section 1.6, the
depths are on the drilled shaft foundation standard OSC-A-9. As described
in Section 1.6, if average and minimum Qu values do not meet the
requirements, the BBS must provide a depth or a special design.
5. With the information from Steps 3(b) and 4, and/or information obtained
from the BBS, determine the drilled shaft vertical limits (Elevation Top,
Elevation Bottom), and dimensions “A”, “B”, and “F”.
deep aluminum grating and galvanized steel plank grating. The plan
June 2012 2.2-3

preparer should consult District personnel for grating preference and select
the correct sheets. Walkway grating should cover the full width of all signs
and extend a minimum of 4 feet past the edge of pavement into the shoulder
unless the shoulder width is less than 10 feet. If shoulder width is less than
10 feet or if the structure is on a low speed ramp, the walkway grating may
begin at edge of pavement, while still covering the full width of all signs.
Truss inspection grating extends full length of the truss, unless specifically
exempted by the District and BBS. For projects that omit front walkway and
lighting, details provide the option of plain vertical sign supports in lieu of the
L-brackets.
7. Include the “Damping Device” base sheet OSC-A-D with all aluminum
cantilever sign structure projects.

2.3 Bridge Mounted Sign Structures
Bridge mounted sign structures are usually more economical than span or
cantilever sign structures, but less economical than breakaway signposts. Use
the following procedures when preparing plans:
1. For mounting sign supports on the fascia of existing bridges, critical

dimensions correlating new and existing elements should be field measured
and verified before plans are finalized (whenever possible).
2. For skews (angle between the centerline of the road under the bridge and a
line perpendicular to the fascia beam of the bridge) up to 15 degrees, signs
must be parallel to the fascia beam. For skews greater than 15 degrees, the
distance angle between the back of the sign and fascia beam is limited by
dimensions "k" and " l " shown on the plans. The maximum for "k" must be
10 feet and for " l ", 8 feet.
3. The maximum allowable sign height “m” is 15 feet, but may be taller for
specific projects. For specific installations requiring sign heights over 15
feet, up to 18 feet, revise all W6 x 12 to W6 X 16 and rename all base
sheets, “BM-1-Special”, etc. When possible within dimensional limits, all
signs must share a common horizontal centerline. On bridges with
excessive grades, especially with multiple large signs, bracket elevations
must be constant for each sign (sign set horizontal), but brackets may need
to be stepped vertically between sign panels, using the T-bracket (details
available).
4. The sign will not extend more than 6 inches above the top of the brackets.
5. Locate all holes drilled in steel beams or girders in the middle half of the
member’s depth. On shallow beams, align centerline of brackets
June 2012 2.3-1

approximately with the centerline of the web. There must be no holes drilled
in the lower quarter of a concrete member’s depth. For a cast-in-place
reinforced concrete (RC) beam, the depth is the area from the bottom of the
deck to the bottom of the girder at the bracket location.
6. For new RC or pre-stressed beams, coordinate locations of bracket

connection holes with the bridge’s structural designer, since specifications
require forming holes before casting. For existing beams, determine pre-
stressing strand and/or primary tension and shear reinforcement locations
and space brackets so holes miss strands by 6 inches minimum.
7. Walkway grating should extend a minimum of 4 feet past the edge of

pavement into the shoulder unless the shoulder width is less than 10 feet. If
shoulder width is less than 10 feet or if the sign structure is over a low speed
ramp, the walkway grating may begin at edge of pavement.

9. In the table on sheet BM-1, record the 15-digit sign structure number and
the bridge structure number.
10. For projects with aesthetic mandates requiring bridge mounted sign
structures painted a specific color over the galvanizing, consult the Bureau
of Materials and Physical Research (BMPR) early in the planning process to
determine acceptable color alternatives and allow time for testing and pre-
approval.

2.4 Monotube Sign Structures
Monotube sign structures are economical when total sign area is small, compared
to those mounted on large truss structures, and span length is 100 feet or less. In
addition, consider using monotubes for traffic signals, if there is no interference with
sight lines or other space limitations. The monotubes included herein are thin-
walled, tapered steel tubes, similar to those used for traffic signal mast arms and
have pinned joints at the arm-to-column connection. Some SPUDI projects may
require non-tapered, long span, rigid frame monotubes mounted to the bridge
substructure and details are available from BBS on request.
Monotubes are primarily for mounting trailblazers and other small directional signs
over state or business routes passing through urban areas and generally not for
use over interstate highways. In addition, for installations requiring large and heavy
changeable / dynamic / variable message sign cabinets do not use monotube
structures - use Type III-A, III-S span or center mounted butterfly structures only.
However, span monotubes and the cantilever equivalent shown in the catalogs of
traffic pole manufacturers may have the capacity for smaller, relatively flat panel
LED signs. The maximum allowable total area of signs plus signals is 160 square
feet for the single monotube or 300 square feet for the dual, but may be larger for
specific projects and within manufacturers’ limits.
Use the following procedures when preparing contract plans:
1. Determine the 15-digit sign structure number, station, location of the

sign(s)/signal(s) over the roadway, design length (center to center poles),
distance from the right foundation to edge of pavement, total area of proposed
sign(s)/signal(s) and roadway cross section/Elevation A for point of minimum
clearance to lowest part of sign structure (signs, lights, signals).
2. Determine pole height dimensions for the right and left poles using the
following criteria:
June 2012 2.4-1

(a) Minimum vertical clearance is 17 feet 3 inches from Elevation A to lowest

point on structure (signs, sign brackets, lights, light brackets, signals).
(b) Top of foundation is a minimum of 2 inches and a maximum of 24 inches

above grade elevation at centerline of foundation.
(c) The total pole height will not exceed 25 feet for single monotubes or 28 feet
for double monotubes, unless allowed by the BBS.
depth may be determined from the Foundation Depth Table on the applicable
monotube standard. As described in Section 1.6, if average and minimum Qu
values do not meet the requirements, the BBS must provide a depth or a
special design.
the BBS, determine the drilled shaft vertical limits (Elevation Top, Elevation
Bottom), and dimensions “A” and “B”.
5. Fill in all tables on base sheets including sign structure number, station, total
sign area and foundation dimensions.
Material.
7. The Contractor will submit detailed shop drawings from the manufacturer
showing design materials, diameter and thickness of sections, camber, weld
sizes, sign panel/signal mounting hardware, anchor bolts, etc., for structural
review by the BBS.

2.5 Breakaway Wide Flange Steel Signposts
Breakaway wide flange steel signposts are the most economical sign structures
when similar tubular posts are not adequate. In general, locate ground-
mounted signs on level ground for shorter posts and accompanying cost
savings (see the Bureau of Operations Traffic Policies and Procedures Manual
for guidance). Use the minimum number of posts that satisfy the design criteria.
Whenever practical, avoid placing posts directly in ditch flow lines or in other
areas where debris accumulates and erosion is likely, or if seasonal icing would
be deep enough to interfere with proper operation of the slip base.
Use the following procedures for selecting wide flange breakaway designs:
1. Utilize the latest version of the Breakaway Wide Flange Signpost base
sheets.
2. Determine actual sign area in terms of design width and height.

(See Figure 1, page 2.5-3)
3. Calculate “Clear Height”. Clear height is the difference in elevation

between the top of the foundation (or grade elevation at centerline of post)
and the bottom edge of sign for the longest post.
4. Check the calculated clear height at longest post with respect to the
following criteria: (See Figure 2, page 2.5-3).
(a). For signs less than 30 feet from edge of pavement, the bottom edge
of sign must be set level at an elevation of at least 7 feet above grade
elevation at edge of pavement (supplemental panels may be set at 6
feet).
June 2012 2.5-1

(b). For signs 30 feet and greater from edge of pavement, the bottom
edge of sign must be set level at an elevation of at least 5 feet above
grade elevation at edge of pavement.
(c). For signs on rising embankment slopes, the bottom edge of sign must
be set to provide at least 7 feet between it and the top of the stub post
for the shortest post. This may be reduced to 5 feet when either the
distance from the edge of pavement is greater than 30 feet and the
slope is greater than 2:1 (horizontal: vertical) or where other factors
would prevent an out of control vehicle from reaching the post.
5. With sign height, width and clear height, enter the charts and select the
number and size of posts.
6. In cases where the sign and post dimensions fall between those
tabulated on the selection charts, the plan preparer should round up to
the larger post size.
7. In cases where the sign dimensions are greater than the maximum 40
feet width by 24 feet height given in the charts, the plan preparer must
contact the BBS for post designs.

STEEL SIGN POST TABLES
2.6 Breakaway Tubular Steel Signposts
Breakaway tubular steel signposts are the most economical sign structure when
clear height and sign size allow the use of no more than two posts. In general,
locate ground-mounted signs on level ground for shorter posts and
accompanying cost savings (see the Bureau of Operations Traffic Policies and
Procedures Manual for guidance). Use the minimum number of posts that
satisfy the design criteria, noting that tubular posts are more expensive than
wide flange posts of similar weight and length. Whenever practical, avoid
placing posts directly in ditch flow lines or in other areas where debris
accumulates and erosion is likely, or if seasonal icing would be deep enough to
interfere with proper operation of the slip base.
Use the following procedures for selecting tubular steel breakaway designs:
1. Utilize the latest version of the Breakaway Tubular Signpost base

sheets.
2. Determine actual sign area in terms of design width and height (See
Figure 1, page 2.5-3).
3. Determine “Clear Height”. Clear height is the difference in elevation

between the top of the foundation (or grade elevation at centerline of
post) and the bottom edge of sign for the longest post.
4. Check the calculated clear height at longest post with respect to the
following criteria: (See Figure 2, page 2.5-3).
(a). For signs less than 30 feet from edge of pavement, the bottom edge
of sign must be set level at an elevation of at least 7 feet above grade
June 2012 2.6-1

elevation at edge of pavement (supplemental panels may be set at 6

feet).
(b). For signs 30 feet and greater from edge of pavement, the bottom
edge of sign must be set level at an elevation of at least 5 feet above
grade elevation at edge of pavement.
(c). For signs on rising embankment slopes, the bottom edge of sign must
be set to provide at least 7 feet between it and the top of the stub post
for the shortest post. This may be reduced to 5 feet when either the
distance from the edge of pavement is greater than 30 feet and the
slope is greater than 2:1 (horizontal: vertical) or where other factors
would prevent an out of control vehicle from reaching the post.
5. With sign width, height and clear height, enter the charts and select the
number and size of posts.
6. In cases where the sign and post dimensions fall between those
tabulated on the selection charts, the plan preparer should round up to
the dimensions giving the larger post size.

SIGN POSTS AND DETAILS
2.7 Aluminum Butterfly Sign Structures
Use butterfly sign structures for the condition where a center median barrier is
close to both outside left lanes of an interstate or expressway and warrants
require signing for traffic in both directions. The plan preparer should consider
all MUTCD governing factors and alternatives before selecting butterflies. For
installations using changeable / dynamic / variable message sign cabinets,
butterfly structures are acceptable, only with the sign cabinet centered on the
column. Do not mount heavy DMS cabinets on the end of a cantilever truss.
over the roadway, distance from foundation to edge of pavement (D1 and
D2), design length (L1 and L2), proposed height of signs (Ds1 and Ds2) and
total sign areas and roadway cross section/Elevation A for point of minimum
clearance to sign structure (usually the sign and walkway bracket). Select
the appropriate structure from the three design types shown below:
Maximum Length each Maximum Sign Area each

Butterfly Type
Wing (feet) Wing (square feet)
I-F-A 25 100
II-F-A 30 200
III-F-A 35 200
With butterfly sign trusses, the maximum sign areas in the table above apply
to any span length for each given truss type. For example, the maximum
sign area for a 23-foot wing on a Type I-F-A butterfly is 100 square feet. For
June 2012 2.7-1

a 32-foot wing on a Type III-F-A truss, the maximum sign area is 200 square
feet.

end of truss cantilever length (L1 or L2) minus the centerline column to
second vertical distance (“s” + 15 inches for splice) minus the last vertical to
end of truss dimension (3 inches), into the least whole number of panels.
Below are the panel spacing limits for each structure:
Butterfly Type Panel Spacing (feet)

I-F-A 3.0 minimum to 4.0 maximum
II-F-A 3.5 minimum to 4.5 maximum
III-F-A 4.0 minimum to 5.5 maximum
(a) Minimum vertical clearance is 17 feet 3 inches from highest Elevation A

to sign, walkway support, or truss.

(c) The total column height must not exceed 30 feet, unless allowed by the
calculate H for a butterfly with walkway brackets: To Elevation A, add 17’
3” plus 1’ 3” (8” for DMS), plus 7’-6” or half the height of the tallest sign
(whichever is greater), minus half the truss height, minus top of
foundation elevation minus 2 ¾”.

L-brackets.
7. For installations using large, heavy-weight dynamic message sign cabinets

which require walkways for door access, use Type III-F-A butterfly structures
only, center the sign cabinet on the column (do not mount cabinets at the
ends of cantilevers) and make the following general plan, detail and walkway
sheet substitutions (other standard sheets for foundations, handrails, etc.
still required to make a complete set – see item 13 following):

OSF-A-6 and/or OSF-A-6S OSF-A-6-DMS
OSF-A-7 and/or OSF-A-7S OSF-A-7-DMS
8. For shoulder installations using smaller, lighter-weight variable message

sign cabinets with front access not requiring walkways, use Type I-F-A
butterfly structures, center the sign cabinet on the column (do not mount
cabinets at the ends of cantilevers) and use the following general plan and
detail sheets for a complete set of plans:
Replace: With:
OSF-A-1 OSF-A-1-VMS

Sign Structures Manual Section 2 – Design (Aesthetic)
2.8 Steel Span Sign Structures
Use galvanized steel trusses only for projects with aesthetic mandates requiring
span sign structures painted a specific color. To determine acceptable color
alternatives and allow time for testing and pre-approval, consult the Bureau of
Materials and Physical Research (BMPR) early in the planning process.
The current designs of span sign structures with galvanized steel trusses
originated for the Peoria area Interstate 74 project, which had an aesthetic
mandate requiring structures painted black. To avoid potential problems with
painting aluminum, the BBS designed galvanized steel trusses and the BMPR
developed a “Painting Galvanized Steel Structures” special provision. A paint
system of epoxy over-coated with urethane was already in use for bridges and
compatible with application over pre-treated galvanized steel. In addition to the
benefit of satisfying aesthetic mandates, the duplex system of paint over
galvanizing may significantly extend the life of the structures’ corrosion
protection.
Span sign structures are the least economical sign structure type. The plan
preparer should consider all MUTCD governing factors and alternatives before
selecting spans. Use the following procedures when preparing plans:
over the roadway, distance from right foundation to edge of pavement (D),
design span length (center to center support frames), proposed height of
sign(s) (Ds), total sign area and Elevation A for point of minimum clearance to
sign structure (sign, sign bracket, walkway support, or truss).
2. With the design span length and total sign area, select type of truss and truss
member sizes from the following table. Design of each structure listed in the
table accounts for the maximum span length, total sign area and maximum
end support height. Always choose the next largest structure design that will
June 2012 2.8-1

meet all three parameters. For example, a project requires a 70 ft. span with
560 sq. ft. total sign area and 28 ft. maximum end support height. Because
the total sign area is greater than the 550 square feet maximum for the 70 ft.
span listed in the table, choose a 70 ft. span, Type I-S structure using the
members and foundation dimensions for the 80 ft. span, Type I-S. In
addition, since total sign area is already significant, consider using the 90-foot
Type I-S or the 90-foot Type II-S design for more future additional sign
capacity. Before making a final structure selection, complete Step 3 for end
support height.

2.8-2 June 2012

Note: For installations using large, heavyweight dynamic message sign

cabinets, use Type III-S structures only. The cell library includes special
walkway details for interior cabinet access.
3. Determine height dimensions H and A and final pipe size for each support
frame using the following criteria:

(b) Top of foundation above grade elevation is a minimum of 2 feet and a

maximum of 4 feet 6 inches for spread footings and a minimum of 2 feet
and a maximum of 3 feet 6 inches for dual drilled shafts, as shown on
the plans.
(c) Use a minimum sign height of 15’-0” to calculate the end support
heights. To calculate H for a span structure with walkway brackets: To
Elevation A, add 17’ 3”, plus 1’ 3” (8” for DMS), plus 7’-6” or half the
height of the tallest sign (whichever is greater), plus half the truss height,
plus 7 ½”, minus top of foundation elevation, minus 2”.
(d) If the height dimension H exceeds the maximum end support height
allowed for the selected truss design, choose a truss design with the
appropriate maximum end support height. For example, if the 70 ft.
span with 560 sq. ft. total sign area requires a 30 ft. maximum end
support height, choose a 70 ft. span Type I-S structure using the
members and foundation dimensions designed for the 90 ft. span Type
I-S structure, which allows up to a 31 ft. end support height.
There may be situations where tall signs are required and the end
support is taller than the maximum height allowed for Type I-S and II-S
June 2012 2.8-3

structures. For these cases, make the following adjustments to the

column wall thickness:
If a Type I-S structure requires an end support height greater than 31

feet and up to 35 feet, use a pipe 10-inch diameter by 0.365-inch wall
thickness for the end supports. For a Type II-S structure requiring a
height greater than 31 feet and up to 35 feet, use a pipe 10-inch
diameter by 0.500-inch wall thickness.
4. With the truss type and chord size, select splicing flange details from the
following charts:
Type I-S Truss Use chart on page 2.8-9

Type II-S Truss Use chart on page 2.8-11

minimum number of units for each truss, keeping the maximum unit length
2.8-4 June 2012

at approximately 40 feet or less. For example, use only two exterior units for
a design length (L) of 80 feet, even though one or both may be slightly
greater than 40 feet. Calculate exterior unit panel spacing (P) by dividing
the Unit Length (Le) minus 22.5 inches ( 1 inch), by the number of panels.
Calculate interior unit panel spacing (P) by dividing the Unit Length (L i)
minus 15 inches, by number of panels. The minimum panel spacing for all
truss types is 4 feet. Maximum panel spacing is 5.0 feet for Type I-S trusses
and 5 feet 6 inches for Type II-S and III-S trusses.
To maintain the pattern of the vertical diagonals, single interior units must
have an even number of panels per unit while exterior units may have an odd
or even number of panels. When two interior units are used, each interior
unit may have an odd or even number of panels, resulting in an even number
for all interior units combined. For ease of fabrication and the most
economical design, all panels on a truss should be the same length. The
aluminum truss tables on pages 2.1-15, 2.1-16 and 2.1-17 provide
recommended dimensions for one-foot increment span lengths. Use the
dimensions in the Type II tables for Type III structures less than 100 feet.
7. Obtain soil-boring data and determine the average Qu per Section 1.6 at the
bottom of the spread footing or for all strata within and below the “B” portion
of the dual drilled shaft foundation. If average and minimum Q u values meet
the requirements of Section 1.6, use dimension “M” for the spread footing or
the depth “B” for dual drilled shaft foundations from the selected sign
structure design in the table on page 2.8-2. Dimension “N” may be
determined from the spread footing foundation standards OS-F1, OS-F2,
OS-F3 or OS-F4 and the soil boring data. As described in Section 1.6, if
average and minimum Qu values do not meet the requirements, the BBS
must provide a special design.
June 2012 2.8-5

from the BBS, determine the spread footing or drilled shaft vertical limits
(Elevation Top, Elevation Bottom), dimensions “M” and “N” for a spread
footing foundation or dimensions “A”, “B”, and “F” for a dual drilled shaft
foundation. The traffic barrier shaped foundations on sheets OS4-MED or
OS4-MED2 are required for all new span overhead sign structure end
supports located within medians of divided highways.
deep galvanized steel and galvanized steel plank grating. The plan preparer
should consult District personnel for grating preference and select the
correct sheets. Walkway grating should cover the full width of all signs and
extend a minimum of 4 feet past the edge of pavement into the shoulder
L-brackets.
10. For installations using large, heavy weight dynamic message sign cabinets
which require walkways for interior access, use span Type III-S structures
only and make the following walkway sheet substitutions:
Replace: With:
OS-S-9 and/or OS-S-9S OS-S-9-DMS
OS-S-10 and/or OS-S-10S OS-S-10-DMS
OS-S-11 OS-S-11-DMS
2.8-6 June 2012

11. If the left and right support heights on a structure are not equal, fill in two
rows of the table on the “Support Frame” sheet for that structure, checking
the boxes labeled “Left” and “Right” to designate each end support.
12. Include the Damping Device base sheet OS-S-D with all steel span sign
structure projects.
13. Fill in all tables on base sheets including sign structure number, station,
height of tallest sign, total sign area, support heights and sign bracket and

STEEL HANDRAIL DETAILS FOR DMS
2.9 Steel Cantilever Sign Structures
Use galvanized steel cantilever trusses only for projects with aesthetic mandates
requiring sign supports painted a specific color. To determine acceptable color
alternatives and allow time for testing and pre-approval, consult the Bureau of
Materials and Physical Research (BMPR) early in the planning process.
The current designs of cantilever sign structures with galvanized steel trusses
originated for the Peoria area Interstate 74 project, which had an aesthetic
mandate requiring structures painted black. To avoid potential problems with
painting aluminum, the BBS designed galvanized steel trusses and the BMPR
developed a “Painting Galvanized Steel Structures” special provision. A paint
system of epoxy over-coated with urethane was already in use for bridges and
compatible with application over pre-treated galvanized steel. In addition to the
benefit of satisfying aesthetic mandates, the duplex system of paint over
galvanizing may significantly extend the life of the structures’ corrosion
protection.
Cantilever sign structures are usually more economical than span sign
structures, but less economical than bridge mounted sign structures or break
away signposts. The plan preparer should consider all MUTCD governing factors
and alternatives before selecting cantilevers.
Do not use cantilever structures for installations with large walk-in changeable /
dynamic / variable message sign cabinets - use only Type III-A or III-S span
structures or butterfly structures with the sign centered on the column. When
small, lightweight, front access LED variable message signs are proposed, use
cantilever sign structures under the following limitations:
June 2012 2.9-1

Type Maximum Truss Length Maximum VMS Sign Size, Weight
I-C-S 25 feet 4’ H. X 10’ W. X 1’ D. X 1200 lbs.

II-C-S 30 feet 5’ H. X 16’ W. X 1’ D. X 2000 lbs.
III-C-S 40 feet 8’ H. X 30’ W. X 1’-2” D. X 2500 lbs.
Alternate sign dimensions may be acceptable provided the proposed signs don’t
exceed maximum weight and depth limitations and sign areas listed on the base
sheets. Before using signs with alternate dimensions, consult with the BBS.
The use of these deeper signs will result in elimination of lighting and moving the
walkway grating and handrail outward along the horizontal strut of the L-bracket.
District offices may opt for plain sign brackets, with no walkway or lighting.
over the roadway, distance from foundation to edge of pavement (D), design
length (L), proposed height of sign (Ds), sign area and Elevation A for point
of minimum clearance to lowest point on sign structure (usually the sign and
walkway bracket). Select the appropriate structure from the three design
types shown below:
Maximum Length Maximum Sign Area

Cantilever Type
(feet) (square feet)
I-C-S 25 170
II-C-S 30 340
III-C-S 40 400
With cantilever sign trusses, the maximum sign areas in the table above
apply to any span length for each given truss type. For example, the
2.9-2 June 2012

maximum sign area for a 28-foot Type II-C-S truss is 340 square feet. For a
32-foot Type III-C-S truss, the maximum sign area is 400 square feet.

end of truss cantilever length (L), minus the centerline column to first vertical
distance (“s”), minus the last vertical to end of truss dimension (3 inches),
into the least whole number of panels. Below are the panel spacing limits
for each structure:
Cantilever Type Panel Spacing (feet)

I-C-S 3.0 minimum to 4.0 maximum
II-C-S 3.5 minimum to 4.5 maximum
III-C-S 4.0 minimum to 5.5 maximum


(c) The total column height must not exceed 30 feet, unless allowed by the
calculate H for a cantilever with walkway brackets: To Elevation A, add
17’ 3” plus 1’ 3” plus half the height of the tallest sign minus half the
truss height, minus top of foundation elevation minus 2 ¾”.

2.10 Steel Trichord Span Sign Structures
Steel trichord sign structure designs provide a span sign structure that is less
expensive than a conventional box-type truss structure, has a smaller “footprint”
at ground level and carries less total sign area or height for a given span length.
The use of only a single column and shaft foundation at each end should fit in
better with urban intersection or interstate applications where foundation space is
limited.
For all steel trichord span sign structures, the maximum total sign area is 600
square feet and the maximum sign height is 15 feet, but may be taller for specific
projects. Plan Preparers must use a box type span sign structure when the
proposed tallest sign height or total area exceeds these limits. For locations
requiring base mounting on bridge parapets or median barriers, the 36” diameter
base is too bulky, so use only a box-type span sign structure with A-frame end
supports. In addition, do not mount large sign panels on the single back chord
member of a trichord. For locations requiring large signs on both faces of the
truss, use only box trusses. For installations using changeable / dynamic /
variable message sign cabinets, do not use trichords, use Type III-A or III-S
structures only.
Galvanized steel trichords may be pre-treated and painted with the approved
epoxy/urethane system for projects with aesthetic mandates, similar to the
galvanized steel box truss structures in Section 2-8. To determine acceptable
color alternatives and allow time for testing and pre-approval, consult the Bureau
of Materials and Physical Research (BMPR) early in the planning process.
Use the following procedures when preparing trichord plans:
June 2012 2.10-1

over the roadway, distance from right foundation to edge of pavement (D),
design span length (center to center support frames), proposed height of
sign(s) (Ds), total sign area and roadway Elevation A for point of minimum
clearance to sign structure (sign, sign bracket, walkway support, or truss).
Select the appropriate structure from the three designs shown below:
Trichord Type TRI-I-S TRI-II-S TRI-III-S TRI-IV-S

Maximum Span Length (feet) 80 100 120 140
2. Determine height dimension H from bottom of base plate to centerline of top

chord (see base sheet TRI-S-5) using the following criteria:
(a) 17 feet 3 inches is the minimum vertical clearance from Elevation A to

sign, walkway support, or truss, whichever is lowest.

inches above grade elevation for drilled shafts, as shown on the plans.
(c) Use a minimum sign height of 15’-0” to calculate the column heights.
To calculate H for a trichord structure with walkway brackets:
To Elevation A, add 17’ 3” (clear), plus 1’ 3” (walkway), plus 7’-6”,
plus half the truss height (2’-6”), minus top of foundation elevation,
minus 2 inches (round up to the nearest 3-inch increment).
minimum number of units for each truss, keeping the maximum unit length at
approximately 40 feet or less. For example, use only two exterior units for a
design length (L) of 80 feet, even though one or both may be slightly greater
than 40 feet. Calculate exterior unit panel spacing (P) by dividing the Unit
Length (Le) minus 29.5 inches ( 1 inch), by the number of panels. Calculate
2.10-2 June 2012

single interior unit panel spacing (P) by dividing the Unit Length (Li) minus 15
inches, by number of panels. The minimum panel spacing for all trichord
truss types is 4 feet and the maximum panel spacing is 5.0 feet.
To maintain the pattern of the vertical diagonals, interior units must have an
even number of panels per unit while exterior units may have an odd or even
number of panels. When two interior units are used, each interior unit may
have an odd or even number of panels, resulting in an even number for all
interior units combined. For ease of fabrication and the most economical
design, all panels on a truss should be the same length. Tables of
recommended dimensions are on pages 2.10-5, 2.10-6 and 2.10-7.
depth may be determined from the drilled shaft foundation standard TRI-S-9.
As described in Section 1.6, if average and minimum Qu values do not meet
the requirements, the BBS must provide a depth or a special design.
the BBS, determine the drilled shaft vertical limits (Elevation Top, Elevation
Bottom), and dimensions “A”, “B”, and “F” for drilled shaft foundations.
6. Walkway grating should cover the full width of all signs and extend a
minimum of 4 feet past the edge of pavement into the shoulder unless the
shoulder width is less than 10 feet. If shoulder width is less than 10 feet or if
the structure is on a low speed ramp, the walkway grating may begin at edge
of pavement, while still covering the full width of all signs. Truss inspection
grating extends full length of the truss, unless specifically exempted by the
District and BBS. For projects that omit front walkway and lighting, details
provide the option of plain vertical sign supports in lieu of the L-brackets.
June 2012 2.10-3

7. If the left and right support heights on a structure are not equal, fill in two
rows of the table on the “Truss Support Post” sheet for that structure,
checking the boxes labeled “Left” and “Right” to designate each end support.
