These One Way Signs should be clearly visible to each crossroad approach and installed on the far left and near \u00a0right corners of each intersection with directional roadways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>One Way Signs, at unsignalized intersections, should be placed on the far left and near right corners of the intersections. These signs should face traffic that is crossing or entering a one way street.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>One Way Signs, at signalized intersections, should be placed either on the traffic signal poles, near the appropriate signal faces, on the span or mast arm holding the signals or at locations designated for unsignalized intersections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<p>Besides installing a One Way Sign at appropriate streets and roadway, it is also important that the sign used to eliminate two-way traffic is of the finest quality.
