SIGNS AND POSTING OF BOUNDARIES

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Determine the size, color and posting points for ingress and perimeter barrier signs for both restricted and nonrestricted areas.

Restricted areas, including buildings, should be posted at regularly used external points of ingress with signs approximately 3 feet by 3 feet, with proportionate lettering. Signs should read as follows:

WARNING

RESTRICTED AREA - KEEP OUT

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

AUTHORIZED ENTRY INTO THIS RESTRICTED AREA CONSTITUTES

CONSENT TO SEARCH OF PERSONNEL AND THE PROPERTY UNDER THEIR CONTROL.

INTERNAL SECURITY ACT OF 1950 SECTION 21; 50 U.S.C. 797

Criteria for identifying internal points of ingress into designated restricted and nonrestricted buildings are contained in OPNAVINST 5510.1.

Perimeter barriers of all restricted areas should be posted with signs measuring approximately 12 inches by 18 inches, with proportionate lettering. Signs should read as follows:

WARNING RESTRICTED AREA KEEP OUT

Authorized Personnel Only

Nonrestricted areas should be posted at all points of ingress with signs approximately 3 feet by 3 feet, with proportionate lettering. Signs should read as follows:

WARNING

U.S. NAVY PROPERTY

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

AUTHORIZED ENTRY ONTO THIS IN-STALLATION CONSTITUTES CONSENT TO SEARCH OF PERSONNEL AND THE PROPERTY UNDER THEIR CONTROL.

INTERNAL SECURITY ACT OF 1950 SECTION 21; 50 U.S.C. 797

Perimeters of nonrestricted areas should be posted with signs measuring approximatel 11 inches by 12 inches, with proportionate lettering. Signs should read as follows:

U.S. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY

NO TRESPASSING

Table 10-14-Limited Waterway Areas

Where a language other than English is prevalent, restricted and nonrestricted area warning notices should be posted in both languages.

The interval between signs posted along restricted and nonrestricted area perimeters should not exceed 200 feet. All barrier signs should be placed so as not to obscure the necessary lines of vision for security force personnel.

All signs should be color-coded to provide legibility from a distance of at least 100 feet during daylight under normal conditions. The following color codes are recommended for installation/activity and restricted/nonrestricted area perimeter signs:

. All words except WARNING should be black.

l The word WARNING should be red.

. All wording should be on red, white, and/or blue backgrounds, as appropriate, to obtain maximum color contrast.

Warning signs not worded as prescribed in the previous paragraphs should be replaced. Waivers/exceptions are not required.
