Placement of traffic sign
Placement of traffic sign
(OP)
Hi guys,
I'm new here and a new graduate. I just got a job in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
There are two signs in which I am to place, a "50 km/h ahead" sign and a "50 km/h" speed limit sign. Now the distance I need between the 2 is the distance required for a car to decelerate from 80 km/h to 50 km/h. Does anyone know if there's a standard I could look this up, or what to look up? I'm having trouble finding any information relating to this matter. Thanks a lot.

My guess is that Canada would have the same type of standards in place. I don't know if it would be federal, or by district. That is the first place I would try to take a look. Probably google 'Canada highway design standards', and I bet you'll find a ton.

The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) also has historically used its own MUTCD which bore many similarities to the TAC MUTCD. However, as of approximately 2000 they have been developing the Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM), a series of smaller volumes each covering different aspects of traffic control (e.g., regulatory signs, warning signs, sign design principles, traffic signals, etc.).
