Qualification Criteria All EDR signs have been designed with an option to be of either of the OPEN type design or FLIP-OPEN type design. During the planning stages of EDR selection, road authorities must determine the level of resources available for sign activation. In instances where resources are not available to open EDR mainline and/or trailblazer signs during an emergency closure, the sign designs should be of the OPEN type, which after installation are visible 24/7. For road authorities with available resources to open all EDR signs during an emergency closure, it is recommended that the FLIP-OPEN type signs be used. For further information regarding roles and responsibilities, reference should be made to the Ministry of Transportation’s Emergency Detour Route Guideline and Best Practices document (February 2004).
