9、res and cinemas should not normally be signed from the trunk road network. Exceptionally, it may be appropriate to sign remote establishments for traffic management purposes in sparsely populated rural areas, provided the environmental impact is minimal. (Refer also to paragraph 9.2 and Section 13).
10、3.5Sports stadia of national importance may be signed from a trunk road where there are exceptional traffic management and safety reasons. In such cases, signing must be consistent (in terms of colours and symbols) with that on the local road network.3.6Where Park and Ride (P(b)have adequate toilets

(Legislation guiding organisations as to where and when disabled access is appropriate is contained within the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 8.)3.8Eligibility does not confer automatic entitlement to tourist signs. In each case, the decision is
13、 made by the appropriate Route Manager. Decisions on signing individual establishments will depend on local circumstances, including the number of other similar establishments in the area. However, it should be remembered that the main purpose of tourist signing is for more efficient traffic managem
14、ent on the trunk road network. It is not intended that signs should be used as advertising for the tourist destination.3.9A tourist destination will not be eligible for tourist signing unless any advertisement signs relating to that destination are removed permanently from private land adjacent to t
15、he highway.Volume 8 Section 2 Part 4 TD 52/04February 20043/2Chapter 3 Signing Policy Criteria3.10It is important to ensure that there is consistency and continuity of tourist signing across HA and local authority boundaries. This is particularly important in large urban areas, where there are many
16、local authorities, each with differing policies and strategies. Therefore, the tourist signing strategy for a route should be developed after consulting the Route Managers for nearby HA routes, as well as adjoining local authorities (including National Park authorities where appropriate) and local and regional tourist organisations, to agree consistent arrangements for cross-boundary signing.Volume 8 Section 2 Part 4 TD 52/04February 2004Chapter 4 Quality of Tourist Destinations4/14.QU
