Placement of Sign 1

[airmintie]

Hi guys,
I'm new here and a new graduate. I just got a job in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

There are two signs in which I am to place, a "50 km/h ahead" sign and a "50 km/h" speed limit sign. Now the distance I need between the 2 is the distance required for a car to decelerate from 80 km/h to 50 km/h. Does anyone know if there's a standard I could look this up, or what to look up? I'm having trouble finding any information relating to this matter. Thanks a lot.

In the U.S., your noisy neighbor to the south, there are standards contained in all State Highway Departments and a nationwide standard called, The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Google these terms and see if there are similar standards for your Province or Territory.

I'll bet three baseballs to your hockey puck there are.

good luck

It took me awhile to track it down in our office, but there is a MUTCD for Canada. Thanks a lot for the advice.

Around 75m AHEAD, I think per TAC. Assuming constant decelaration.
