Policy

Playground signs are used where the playground is adjacent to an arterial street. They may also be used on a minor street where a traffic engineering investigation indicates an unusual or hazardous condition.

Rationale

This sign is intended to warn motorists of a potential hazardous condition that may call for a reduction in speed. It is not intended to regulate speed.

Procedure

The playground sign shall generally be installed approximately 150 feet in advance of the playground area. Unique conditions may dictate special sign locations. When a playground is used in conjunction with a school, the "school" sign shall take precedence, and no "Playground" signs shall be placed.
