2L.02 Application of Changeable Message Signs
INSERT the following paragraphs:
Guidance:
02A Messages displayed on changeable message signs for highway safety campaigns, emergency homeland security, and AMBER alerts should meet the following:
(A) Display of the message will have a positive effect on highway safety, and
(B) The message is a supplement to a specific national or statewide highway safety enforcement campaign which includes a coordinated media campaign, and
(C) The message meets general message content and display guidelines and provides a high level of motorist understanding and value, and
(D) The message should not be displayed for longer than 14 days per campaign, and
(E) The message should not be displayed during peak hour travel on high volume roadways where the message itself may cause congestion.
Guidance:
05A A changeable message sign should only display information that is associated with unexpected conditions, nonrecurring congestion, or unusual travel conditions. The content of the message on a changeable message sign should be based on the need for a motorist to take an action.
05B In the absence of accurate travel time or travel condition information, at locations where travel time information would not be useful, or when not being preempted with other, more important messages, the default display of a changeable message sign should be a blank sign.
