Information or
Guide Sign
At each trail junction, one trail (at a " T " junction)
should be signed to stop; at 4-way trail junctions,
at least one pair of opposing trails should be
signed to stop.
* The uppermost part of the guidepost
needs to display an junction identification
number.
1. The trail (s) that must stop, need to have
a Stop sign installed as close to the
stopping point as possible, but not more
than 15 ft. before that point.
2. Each trail approaching an intersection
where there is not a stop sign installed
must have a Junction Ahead sign.
3. Each junction needs a guidepost located
near the point where the approaching
trails intersect but off the groomed surface
of the trail:
* All junction identifications need to begin
with the 4-letter county abbreviation
followed by a number.
* The guidepost may also include trail
number information, directional arrows,
and destinations with accurate mileages.
4. Each trail leading away from the intersection
must have a trail number sign that correctly
identifies that trail located at a point
that is visible from the intersection and far
enough down the trail to clearly establish
the trail being identified
