Figure 10–27—This prototype road closure gate has a kissing gate alongside.
The combination would allow stock, pedestrians, and people who use
wheelchairs to pass, while still restricting many motor vehicles.

In a sidebar the text reads:

Note:

  1. When a need has been appropriately determined, use standard object markers (Type II and III) to mark hazards, such as gates, within or adjacent to the trail.
  2. When a need has been appropriately determined, traffic control devices, such as retroreflective signs, may be used on roads and trails open to motorized or mechanized traffic.
  3. All traffic control devices must meet the MUTCD or governing agency standards.
  4. Signs are not shown for clarity.
