Graphic of a main two-way roadway with two intersections and the appropriate placement of drop point signs.

There are two sets of signs that are used for single drop points and are the same, but are placed towards each direction of travel. The top sign reads, "DROP POINT 6" with a circle around the 6. The lower sign has an arrow for direction and has a circle around it. To obtain the distance from the intersection for the placement of the signs see table 2.

There is another sign which is used for multiple drop points and is placed between multiple intersections. This sign reads "DROP POINTS", there is an arrow giving direction for drop points "1, 2, 3" and another arrow giving direction for drop points "4,5,8". To obtain the distance from the intersection refer to table 2.
