Center Lane Sign CAD Block

The Center Lane Sign CAD Block follows the MUTCD Standard for lane-use guide signs. This sign, labeled MUTCD M5-05, helps drivers understand that the center lane is intended for through traffic or specific turn movements. It plays an important role in guiding traffic smoothly through intersections and busy multi-lane roads.

The sign features a black upward arrow placed between two vertical black lines on a white rectangular background, outlined in black. This bold and simple design improves visibility during the day and night, as well as in poor weather conditions. As a result, drivers can quickly recognize the lane’s purpose. Furthermore, the consistent symbol format supports faster decision-making while on the road.

Specifications for Lane Sign CAD Block

According to the Guide Signs, engineers should install the M5-05 sign in areas where the center lane serves a defined function such as shared turning or continuous through-lane movement. In addition, this sign is especially useful on urban arterials and highways, where proper lane guidance is critical for avoiding confusion. Since it is part of the standardized MUTCD system, it ensures that drivers receive uniform visual cues across different regions.
