Schedule D All Dimensions are In mm Specifications for "Wide Load" Sign General: The sign is to be placed on a vehicle with a wide load. It consists of red vertical strips on a white background, having a white letter "D" in the center of the sign. The layout of the sign is to conform to the undernoted drawing. The crosshatched area denotes red. Dimension: The sign is 30 cm high and 244 cm long. Materials: The sign is made of 1/2" (or metric equivalent) GIS Douglas Fir plywood with a medium den- sity overlay.

If the medium density overlay is not used, the plywood must be painted with two good coats of exterior enamel. The paint or overlay is to ensure that the plywood surface is properly sealed. The plywood is then covered, on the side wh ich was sealed, with white reflective sheeting with a minimum Level II reflectance (as per Ca nadian Government Specification). The sign message is then silk-screened on the sheeting, using #712 Stop Sign Red (3M-Corp) paint or equivalent.
