Type D Arrow

Revised 10/20/06

Standard Arrow for ODOT Guide Signs The standard arrow details on the previous page are from the FHWA Standard Highway Signs manual. The tables provide dimensions based on the shaft width (dimension �A�). Once the shaft width is selected, all other arrow components (except shaft length) are proportional, as shown in the table. The formulas used to generate the values in the table are as follows:

B = 1.150A C = 2.030A D = 0.155A E = 0.200A To provide consistency between designs, and to simplify sign layout and fabrication, ODOT has standardized on several standard arrow shaft widths, and used these repeatedly on Guide Sign designs. The most common standard arrow shaft widths used on ODOT Guide Signs are 1.75, 2.5, 3.0 and 4.5 inches. As stated above, the shaft length is not established in the FHWA design. Shaft length is typically in the range of three to five times the shaft width. Shorter shaft lengths would generally be used when the standard arrow is placed in a vertical or slanted orientation, or when the arrow is placed at the end of a line of text. Longer shaft lengths would generally be used when the standard arrow is placed horizontally at the bottom of the sign. To provide consistency between designs, ODOT has standardized on two shaft lengths for each of the shaft widths shown above. These are shown in the table below:
