Sign Inventory
Signs are determined by your TA and road type — select them in Step 2 and the correct signs will be pre-filled for you to review and adjust.
Road Classification
Drives Table 6H-3 sign spacing and determines which TAs apply. Two-lane and multi-lane roads need different setups and different numbers of signs.

Typical Application (TA)
Your 5 most-used TAs are pinned below. Use the dropdown for the full DE MUTCD Table 6H-1 list. Compatibility is checked against your road type automatically.

How it's calculated:
Taper Devices = ⌈L ÷ Spacing⌉ + 1
Tangent Devices = ⌈Work Zone ÷ (2 × Spacing)⌉ + 1
Total Load = ⌈(Taper + Tangent) × 1.05⌉
Taper Devices = ⌈L ÷ Spacing⌉ + 1
Tangent Devices = ⌈Work Zone ÷ (2 × Spacing)⌉ + 1
Total Load = ⌈(Taper + Tangent) × 1.05⌉
Module C — Sign Spacing (Table 6H-3)
Select a road type to see required advance warning distances
Distance A · 1st sign from work zone
--
feet
Distance B · between 1st and 2nd signs
--
feet
Distance C · between 2nd and 3rd signs
--
feet
A = 1st sign closest to TTC zone · B = between 1st and 2nd · C = 2nd to 3rd (furthest upstream) · ≤40 MPH = low speed; >40 MPH = high speed on state-maintained roads.
