WAC 468-95-200   Approach markings for obstructions.  Amend the first Standard of MUTCD Section 3B.10 to read:

     Pavement markings shall be used to guide traffic away from fixed obstructions within a paved roadway. Approach markings for bridge supports, refuge islands, median islands, and channelization islands (except channelization islands formed by paint stripes or raised pavement markers) shall consist of a diagonal line or lines extending from the centerline or the lane line to a point 0.3 to 0.6 m (1 to 2 ft) to the right side, or to both sides, of the approach end of the obstruction (see Figure 3B-13).

     Amend the third Standard of MUTCD Section 3B.10 to read:

     If traffic is required to pass only to the right of the obstruction, the markings shall consist of a no-pass marking, approaching the obstruction, at least twice the length of the diagonal portion as determined by the appropriate taper formula (see Figure 3B-13).

     Modify MUTCD Figure 3B-13, Item a - Center of two-lane road, to show a single no-pass marking on the approach to the obstruction.
