But Andy has answered your question. Any plate that is permitted under a regulatory sign is also allowed on an ADS, and as he says, the plate (including its text and borders) is designed at 80% of the x-height of the other lettering on the sign. Any of the leading sign design software packages (such as SignPlot) will take care of this for you.
Though if only service buses (i.e. 'local buses') are entitled to pass the no entry sign (not visiting coaches) then you might well omit the plate from the directional sign as it is only informatory, and bus drivers on their regular route can be expected to know of the exemption.]]> Tue, 25 Apr 2023 16:34:05 GMT https://members.theihe.org/forums/posts.aspx?group=214541&topic=1735736 https://members.theihe.org/forums/posts.aspx?group=214541&topic=1735736 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 12:08:02 GMT
