installed along the beginning, center and end of the horizontal curve as shown in
Annex "C".
3. On highly urbanized area, RROWmarker shall be concrete block embedded on the

2. Kilometer posts must never be moved or relabeled without consulting the Road and
Bridge Information Application (RBIA) Section of the Statistics Division (SO) of the
Planning Service. In the event of road conversion which necessitates installation of
new set of kilometer posts, consultation with the SO should likewise be undertaken
prior to installation.

road pavement. Where the shoulder is less than 2.0m, the post shall be located at
0.59m setback from the edge of the shoulder. Whenever there is an obstruction at
the proposed location of kilometer post (i.e., bridge, junction, gateway, railroad
croSsing, etc.), offsetting should be done either backward or forward whichever is
visible, and the corresponding chainages should be recorded and uploaded in the
RBIA.
4. On section where there is existing or requirement for installation of guardrails,

6. In cities and other urban centers where there are already existing street name signs
installed, the information "National Road" shall be added on the sign plate below the
street name using sticker.

Funds to cover the expenditures related to this activity shall come from the activities
programmed for implementation under the Annual Work Program for routine maintenance
activities, i.e., Activities 209-Other Roadside MCiintenance,301-Sign Maintenance and 309-
Other Traffic Services and/or other appropriate funds available for the purpose. Funds shall
be programmed annually until such time that all national roads under the District's
