New York State Snowmobile Trail Signing Handbook - 12

Tables and Diagrams
EXAMPLES OF SIGN USE
The following illustrations are intended to give
signing crews an example of a few of the basic
situations they will encounter on most trails. Not all
of the signs contained in the previous pages are
shown in these illustrated examples.
These illustrations serve as simplistic guidelines
for use on snowmobile trails. It is understood
that unusual situations may be encountered
relating to trail conditions, topography, man made
objects, or other circumstances that will require
some modifications to typical sign placement. The
most suitable placement of each sign must be determined
at the site where all variables are visible.
It would be prudent to document any cases where
sign placement is outside the range indicated in
this snowmobile signing handbook and prepare
written justification for your files.
