 EXPRESSWAY SIGNING SYSTEM
~ Guidelines and Design Application T1/07 (Rev.2014)

The existing (T1/07) “Expressway Signing System – Guidelines and Design

Application” book has been reviewed as a continuous effort to improve tolled
roads signing system based on feedbacks. We can be proud that our
highway signing system is on par with the standards adopted elsewhere in
the world. The advent technology of smart phones and road navigation
apps such as google maps, waze, garmin, etc, has made road users reliant
on them to get to a destination using specific route numbers. Hence
highway route numbers, exit numbers has become important in navigating
road users to their destination and indirectly educating them. In addition, the
continuity and legibility of information that provides integration between
other roads is important. For example `Route Number or Expressway Route
Number' as well as `Exit Number' has been recognised and accepted by
road users all over the world as their guidance to a destination.

Directional Sign
Where a new tolled road is being constructed and will be completed
in sections/packages and opened to traffic in phases/stages, the
followings are to be observed and adhered to in accordance with MHA
new policy and control :-
Ÿ Destination name (regional / primary / town) is not allowed to be
displayed on any directional signs should the said destination
name is routed to the uncompleted stretch of the expressway/
highway or opening of that section is at a later stage.

Ÿ There should not be any masking up of a ‘Destination Name’ using

Public Institution of Higher Learning (IPTA) Signs Installation -
Minimum Citeria
Information on public institution of higher learning (IPTA approved by
the government) was initially permitted to be installed on the
expressway under T1/07. However, with the Government’s
transformation on education program, public institution of higher
learning (IPTA) has grown tremendously and the need to control the
clustering of these signs on the expressway need to be managed
accordingly.

The minimum criteria set by MHA before any IPTA signs are allowed
to be installed on an expressway under this new policy and control are
as follows:
Ÿ The student enrolment per year must exceed an average of 5,000
students.

Ÿ The location of the said IPTA must be within 20 km radius from an

interchange.

Table 3 is being revised accordingly to reflect the changes made in lettering

height and type.

Additionally as some tolled roads network are connected seamlessly through

a System Interchange, the 'Name of Tolled Roads' has been introduced for
road user references. The matrix of lettering type, size and colour are shown
in Table 3. Typical example of this cases is depicted in Figure 6.

4.3 TYPE OF FONT

T1/07 has stated that two types of lettering are to be adopted on traffic signs
in all tolled roads which are:

i) Normal lettering (numbering & alphabet) that is equivalent to

`Transport Heavy' type font obtained from `Casmate' software.

ii) Narrow lettering (numbering & alphabet) that equivalent to `CcRige'

type font with 30% reduction obtained from `Casmate' software.

However, due to the constraint of having the same standard and

consistency in terms of similarity of tolled roads lettering standard font,
lettering type of LLMNormal and LLMNarrow being introduced as shown in

Figure 3 to 6.

4.18 MATERIAL AND COLOUR

4.18.1 Arrangement of Multiple Joints For Signboard Substrate

Due to the difference sizes of each individual signs, there will be

multiple joints in order to make a complete signface. This is due to the
restriction in the size of the aluminium composite as well as the
retroreflective sheeting with the maximum width of 4 feet. In order to
achieve a balance between safety and aesthetic, the arrangement of
the joints shall be in a way that the smallest sections must be furthest
away from the driver. This is to ensure that in the event of accidents,
the smaller sections are that faced nearest to the vehicle do not break

and hit the vehicle.

It shall be of retro-reflective plastic sheeting of an encapsulated

lens unmetallised microsprismatic retro-reflective material and
unmetallised cube corner microprismatic retro-reflective material in
accordance with Type IV and Type XI of ASTM D4956.

Warranty on the performance of the retroreflective sheeting material

is mandatory and shall be provided by the sheeting manufacturer to
the concessionaire for a minimum 8 years for Type IV and 10 years
for Type XI from the installation date.

4.18.4 Sign Substrate Material

The sign substrate material shall be not less than 4mm total
thickness of aluminium composite material (3.0mm thick
polyethylene with a minimum of 0.5mm thick aluminium skin on each
sides). The sign substrate shall have a minimum warranty period of 8
years to coincide with the sheeting material.

The retro-reflective sheeting shall be applied on the non-coated

aluminium surface only. The unapplied surface of the aluminium
composite plate shall be painted in executive grey.

NOTES :

1. Concessionaires have to submit :

a. All deed of warranty for sheeting material and signface

substrate material (aluminium composite), must be provided
upon completion of installation works.

b. Initial performance testing of the retroreflective sheeting must

be conducted and report submitted to MHA and must be in
compliance with ASTM D4956 for the respective sheeting
type.

2. On site testing of signboard retroreflective performance shall be

carried out twice (2) within the warranty period and the cost shall be
borne by the concessionaires. It is strongly advised to carry out at

Ÿ The two types of retro-reflective sheeting that have been established and
identified for use on traffic signs are High Intensity Prismatic (Type IV)
and Wide Angle Prismatic sheeting (Type XI).

Ÿ High Intensity Prismatic sheeting is a retro-reflective sheeting referred to

as 'high-intensity' which is typically an unmetalised microprismatic retro-
reflective element material complying with D4956 and Table 5.

4.19 BIRTH CERTIFICATE

The intention of having a “birth certificate” sticker on every signboard

installed is to serve as a reference for the authority and
concessionaire on the validity of the warranty period for the
signboards. It also serves as an asset monitoring tool by the
authority.

In addition, concessionaires may adopt other means of identification

or technology to ensure all information details are on the “birth
