Warning Sign | |
Warranta warrant describes a threshold condition based upon average or
normal conditions that, if found to be satisfied as part of an
engineering study,
shall result in
analysis of other traffic conditions or
factors to determine whether a traffic control device
or other improvement is justified. Warrants are not a substitute
for engineering judgment.
The fact that a warrant for a particular traffic control device
is met is not conclusive justification for the installation of the
device. | |
