Signs fall into certain groups:</p><ul> <li title="*">Regulatory signs - signs with red circles.</li> <li title="*">Warning signs - mostly triangular.</li> <li title="*">Direction signs - mostly rectangular. Destinations and map type.</li> <li title="*">Information signs - mostly rectangular.</li> </ul><p>All signs on the highway must be authorised by the Authority. Special signs are allowed with prior approval of the Department for Transport, or if they are experimental and under trial.</p><h4>Tourism Signing</h4><p>Tourism signing provides an important opportunity for both tourism businesses and local economies and will be implemented positively and constructively.</p><p>There is of course an advertising element as it helps to generate more impromptu visits. However the primary purpose is to safely guide those wishing to visit a tourist destination along the most appropriate route for the latter stages of their journey, or to indicate facilities that a tourist would not reasonably expect to find in that location.</p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3> <a href="/ccm/services/pid.jsp?pid=540"> Providing Information (540) </a></h3>
