Where insufficient space exists to install the maximum of four specific service signs, the signs shall be erected in the available space with the following priority: gas, food, lodging, camping, and attraction.
(C) Any interchange not eligible for specific service signs in one direction may be eligible for specific service signs in the other direction if the criteria of this rule are met.
