11.4.4 General Provisions
-
Procedures for sign requests can be found in Appendix B of this document.
-
Installation and maintenance of permanent identification and directional signs and markings for functional and statutory requirements are DPW responsibilities.
-
Signs will be managed according to Technical Manual (TM) 5-807-10, Signage, the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), The Army’s Installation Design Standards (IDS), and this IDG.
-
Signs for installation entrances, boundaries, and identification of Army-owned off-post facilities will contain the designation "U.S. ARMY" and/or "US Government."
-
Signs for restricted areas will be according to the requirements of AR 190-13.
-
Signs referencing Fort Carson that are located off the installation, or adjacent to public highways, will be consistent with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and applicable local standards. Installation of such signage must be coordinated with and approved by the appropriate off post road authorities.
-
Signs should be used only as necessary. Redundant, unreadable, excessive, and outdated signs should be removed.
-
To prevent the initial high cost of replacing all signage not currently in compliance with this IDG, all existing signage will be “grand-fathered.” However, all new signs and existing signs that are to be moved, replaced, or revised/updated will be brought into compliance with IDG Sign Standards.
