Chapter 4 warning signs (ISBN 9780115524110) Road markings serve a very important function in conveying to road users information and requirements which might not be possible using upright signs. They have the advantage that they can often be seen when a verge-mounted sign is obscured, and, unlike such signs, they can provide a continuing message. Chapter 6 traffic control (ISBN 9780115537448) Words are formed by butting the letter tiles together. The tile widths, listed in Appendix C, have been designed to ensure the correct spacing of the letters. However, for certain combinations of letters the tile widths have to be adjusted and these special tile widths are also specified in Appendix C.

The traffic signs manual gives guidance on the use of traffic signs and road markings prescribed by the Traffic Signs Regulations and covers England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Revised editions of the manual will be published here as they are released.The size of an alphabet is specified in terms of its x—height. This is the height of the lower case letter and is the same for both the Transport Medium and Heavy alphabets. The unit of measurement when designing a sign is the stroke width (sw) which is one quarter of the x-height and is not necessarily equivalent to the width of any given character. The dimensions shown in all figures in this chapter are given in stroke widths unless otherwise stated.
