MUTCD Section 2C.10 Chevron Alignment Sign (W1-8)
Standard: The Chevron Alignment sign shall be a vertical rectangle. If used, Chevron Alignment signs shall be installed on the outside of a turn or curve, in line with and at approximately a right angle to approaching traffic.

Guidance: Spacing of Chevron Alignment signs should be such that the road user always has at least two in view, until the change in alignment eliminates the need for the signs.
Chevron Alignment signs should be visible for a sufficient distance to provide the road user with adequate time to react to the change in alignment.

Option: The Chevron Alignment sign may be used to provide additional emphasis and guidance for a change in horizontal alignment. A Chevron Alignment sign may be used as an alternate or supplement to standard delineators on curves or to the One-Direction Large Arrow (W1-6) sign.
A Chevron Alignment sign may also be used on the far side of an intersection to inform drivers of a change of horizontal alignment for through traffic.
