Description
Word Symbol and Arrow Markings. There are no STANDARD SIGNS along RT 85 where mandatory turn lane indicators are on the pavement. When covered with snow these are NOT VISIBLE and thus a danger to the driving public. Signage must be posted if mandatory. If as currently indicated instructions are optional then the word ONLY must be removed.

The Federal Highway Administration -Manual on Uniform Traffic Control (MUTCD) states that signs for the mandatory turn lanes should be posted at the intersection and where the lane for the mandatory movement begins.
Signs for the Left Lane Turns (mandatory movements) on Bolton Street will be erected.
MUTCD - Section 2B.20 Mandatory Movement Lane Control Signs
Standard: The Mandatory Movement Lane Control sign shall indicate only the single vehicle movement that is required from the lane. If used, the Mandatory Movement Lane Control sign shall be located in advance of the intersection, such as near the upstream end of the mandatory movement lane, and/or at the intersection where the regulation applies.
