CHAPTER 1

GENERAL

1-1. Purpose and scope. This manual pre-scribes criteria and furnishes guidelines for a uniform signage system applicable to Army in-stallations. Criteria may be waived by approval from HQDA(DAEN-ECE-A), WASH DC 20314, in areas where specific architectural styling or historic precedence dictate specialized applica-tion. Traffic control signage is governed by Man-ual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Standard Highway Signs, and Standard Alphabets f o r Highway Signs and Pavement Markings, pub-lished by the Federal Highway Administation;

and Traffic Engineering f o r Better Signs and Markings, Pamphlet 55-14, published by the Mil-itary Traffic Management command. Signage for Army Medical Health Facilities is governed by criteria in TM M3û-2. Handicapped signage is governed by criteria in DoD Manual 4270.1-M (see app E).

1-2. Intended user. Intended users of this manual are the architects, designers, and in-stallation personnel responsible for new con-struction, additions to existing construction, and upgrades requiring signage.

1-3. Classification of signs. Five categories of signs comprise the system as follows:

a. Identification. Identification signs name the areas within the installation or facility, ma-jor tenants, facilities, and organizational or functional units.

b. Guide. Guide signs locate destinations and route travel within an installation. Signage ap-pears at critical points where decisions are nec-essary for movement to a destination.

hibitory signs restrict, warn, and advise. In-cluded in this type are warning, safety, specialized parking, and handicapped access signs.

d. Motivat ion. Motivation signs promote morale. Included in this type are organizational emblems, rnottos, awards, safety campaigns, and special events.

e. Information. Information signs educate and inform. Included in this type are orientation maps, exhibit signs, and directories.

I c5 s c. Manda toryProhibitory. Manda tory/pro-c

1 4 . Implementation process. The first step is to gather the data necessary to determine the required signage. Essential documents are the site of floor plans, applicable regulations and technical manuals, Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Standard High way Signs. MTMC Pamphlet 55-14, and this manual. Preliminary message requirements should be determined us-ing data collection techniques, such as inter-views, questionnaires, or observations. Collected information should be thoroughly analyzed with the objective of reducing the number of signs to an absolute minimum. When the minimum signage requirement is established, exact sign types should be determined for each sign. Using the location and placement guidelines for the appropriate sign type, a master plan and sign schedule should be prepared locating and spec-ifying all signs. Finally, fabrication and instal-lation should be completed based on the master plan and sign schedule.

a, N e w facility signage. Signage should be designed and coordinated with new facility con-struction. Generally, data collection cannot be completed prior to the completion of design de-velopment. Sign locations must be verified with completed construction documents or in the field.

b. Existing facility signage. It is usually not economical to replace all facility signage at once.

After a facility master plan has been developed, new signs and replacement of worn out signs’ should be implemented. When a significant por-tion of facility signs are withn the signage sys-tem, it is practical to replace remaining signs all at once or in phases by sign type.

1-5. Exceptions. In a reas where signage guidelines are waived for reasons of historic preservation or architectural styling, signs may be modified to achieve compatability, such as changing materials or using a serif typeface. In cases where typefaces other than helvetica me-dium or helvetica regular are used, correspond-ing spacing c h a r t s a r e required. Any modifications, as in the case of all signage sys-tems, should be applied uniformly and consist-ently.

guidelines in Standard Alphabets for High way Signs and R~Vement Markings Published by the Federal Highway Administration). Since typefaces are not com-pletely standardized in the priilting and SigWY in-dustries, any typeface being considered must be visually matched with examples shown in figures 2-1 and 2-2 and in appendixes C and D.

W 3515789 O216575 2b0 proportionately spaced to maintain visually equal spac-ing and aligiiment. Mechanically equal spacing$ will not be used.

(1) Letter spacing standards. Letter spacing stan-dards should be followed for both helvetica medium and helvetica regular typefaces. These standards are based 011 a unit system. Each unit is equivalent t o 1/50th of the capital letter height. The spacing chart shown in figure 2-3 shows how many spacing units are required between characters. To illustrate, the first character is selected from the left column 011 the chart and the following letter from the top row. The number of spac-ing units appears at the intersection of the selected col-umn and row; thus, the letter “A” followed by the letter “i” required three spacing units measured from the widest point of each letter. Insert 20 units between words and 6 units before a punctuation mark (.,;:’), Iii-sert zero units before and after a slash (/). The above letter spacing standards should be utilized to prepare a master sign as a reference for visual spacing. An exam-ple of correct letter spacing is shown in figure 2-4.

Follow the grid drawing accompanying each sign il-lustration for correct placement of arrows.

(2) Tile system. Adhesive-backed vinyl die-cut let-ters supplied on proportionately sized paperboard tiles are aii alteroative letter spacing method. Figure 2-5 il-lustrates this spacing method. These tiles are notched to assure vertical alignment. Tiles are applied to the sign face following the grids .in this manual. The tiles are placed next to each other, lining up the aligiimeiit not-ches with the grid lines drawn 011 the sign face. Tile systems allow iiistallation persoiiiiel to prepare profes-

sional quality signs with minimal training. Since letters are available individually, any message can be prepared as required, provided that an inventory of character tiles is maintained.

(3) Prespaced system. Adhesive-backed vinyl die-cut letters, prespaced and aligned on a transparent car-rier sheet, are another alternative letter spacing method.

Messages are applied to the sign face, following the grids in this manual, by adhering one continuous line of allows installation persoiinel to prepare professional quality signs quickly with minimal training. No inven-tory is required; however, lead time is necessary for manufacturers to prepare ordered messages.

d. Standard arrows. All guide and informational signage intended for pedestrian use, either exterior or interior, must use the arrow shown iii figure 2-6. Arrow proportions are given i n units equivalent to 1/50th of the capital letter height of the message with which the type aligned with grid lines drawn on the sign face. This arrow is used.

2-2. Sign layout. Sign layout is determined by a sign grid as illustrated iii figure 2-7. The grid is based on a proportional relationship of the capital letter height or ‘‘cap height” used on each sign. Exact measurements are specified on the sign grid for placement of messages.

The size of the sign is based on a proportional relatioii-ship of cap heights using modular iiicremeiits of 6 inches as specified for each grid.

a. Margins. Margins are proportional to the max-imum cap height used on each sigii. Four-’inch margins are used for a 6-inch cap height. Three-inch margins are used for 4- aiid 3-inch cap heights. The bottom margin is equal to the maximum cap height.

6. Line spacing. Use one cap height space between coiisecutive messages. Use one cap height space of the preceding message between coiisecutive messages having different cap heights. Use one-half cap height space bet-ween consecutive liiies of a message requiring two or more lines.

c. Line length. Maximum character counts are based 011 an average character width of 35 spacing units for helvetica medium aiid 30 spacing units for helvetica regular. The average character count includes letters, spaces between words, and punctuation marks.

d. Layout guidelines.

(1) Good judgement is the key to deciding where the liiies should break iii a Sig? message. Single ideas or names should appear on the same line as follows:

CHAPTER 3

EXTERIOR SIGNS

3-1. Master plan. In order to assure that all in-stallation signage communicates clearly in an efficient and systematic way, it is strongly recommended that an installation sign master plan be prepared. This plan shoiild show the location and content of every proposed exterior identification, guide, mandatory/prohibitory, and informational sign on the installation. The plan consists of two parts, the sign location plan and the sign schedule.

a. Sign location plan. The sign location plan should be prepared using a current site plan of the installation showing all structures and other major features, An ex-ample of a sign location plan is given.in figure 3-1. TO prepare a sign location plan, determine the message con-tent, sign type, and preliminary location of each r e quired sign using guidelines in this manual. Field verify the preliminary locations, and if necessary, modify the locations to accommodate existing conditions. Assign and record a sequential number for each sign on the sign location plan, b; Sign schedule. After preparation of the sign loca-tion pIan, a sign schedule should be prepared indicating all signs required or proposed using the assigned loca-tion numbers. Figure 3-2 is an example of a sign

schedule based on the location plan (fig 3-1). This schedule should include the sign number, building number (if appropriate), exact message, sign type and structural drawing. To provide a basis for an effective maintenance program, include the location, date of erection and purpose (if appropriate), exact message, sign type and structural drawing. To provide a basis for an effective maintenance program, include the location, date of erection and purpose (if appropriate) of each sign in the schedule. The date of erection should be per-manently affixed to the back of each sign.

3-2. System organization. The system is compris-ed of a logical progression of sign types which guide travel to activities or facilities through orientation to major routes within the installation and identificatïon of each destination. The basic sequence consists of-

-Identification of the installation.

-Notification of security enforced on the in-

-Identification of the major units stationed at the

-Direction to destinations via street names and

installation, addresses.

This progression of signs is supplemented as required by informational, motivational, and mandatory/ prohibitory signage. Consistent and widely understood nomenclature must be used on all signs to avoid confu-sion. Color is used on sign backgrounds to aid iden-tification of military facilities. (brown) and community facilities (blue).

3-3. Installation identification signs. installa-tion identification signs name the installation and display the official US Army plaque, -en used.

service-wide, these signs convey a uniform image of military strength and stability to the public. Emblems, branch colors, unit mottos, names or titles of in-dividuals are not recommended. Installation identifica-tion signs consist of three types:

-Sign type Al, main entrance sign, identifies the principal visitor entrance.

-Sign type A2, secondary entrance sign, identifies entry points with relatively high volumes of visitor traf-fic.

-Sign type A3, limited access entry gate sign, iden-tifies entry points with limited public access.

Graphics appear on two sides of the signs unless they are to be viewed by incoming traffic only or when they are placed parallel to the road. A concrete or masonry base is recommended consistent with the predominant ar-

An exam-ple of this type of sign is illustrated in figure 3-8. Roads used primarily by installation personnel do not require major identification signs such as types Al and A2. In situations where the entry gate is located a long distance from the entrance, type A3 may be used in combination with type Al or A2 to repeat the installation name. In restricted areas type A3. is used in conjunction with mandatory/prohibitory signs discussed in paragraph 3-9. If the name of the installation is over 15 characters, the capital letter height may be reduced using one inch increments to accommodate the name on one line of cppy (fig 3-9, expanded sign grid.).
