General
Safety rest area, roadside turnout, vehicle
inspection station, brake check and chain
up/chain down roadside facilities along
Alberta highways are intended to be used
for their specific purpose. For instance,
roadside turnout and rest area facilities are
intended to be used by travelers wanting to
stop for rest or refreshment.
It is not intended or desirable for the above
mentioned roadside facilities to be used as
long-term parking or vehicle storage areas
where vehicles or trailers are left
unattended for extended periods of time.
If vehicles or trailers are left unattended for
extended periods, problems with roadside
facility capacity may arise, and motorists
needing the services may not be able to use
the facility.
Standard
At locations where vehicles or trailers are
frequently left unattended for extended
periods, the Do Not Leave Vehicle or Trailer
Unattended regulatory sign (RC-110) serves
to notify motorists of the restriction.
A standard RC-110 sign has a square
shape and consists of a black message on
a white background. The size of the sign is
900 mm x 900 mm.
