Standard Plates
Standard Plates
The South Dakota Department of Transportation Standard Plates are available only in U.S. Customary units. Drawings are not always drawn to scale; use the dimensions on the drawings for correct measurements. Every effort has been made to assure their correctness. If there are any discrepancies between these standard plates and other contract documents, Section 5.4 of the specifications will govern.
For general information or if you have comments or wish to make changes to a standard plate, please make a copy of the standard plate showing your revisions and send it to Drew Miller, 700 E. Broadway Ave., Pierre, SD 57501 or by email noted below.

Warranted revisions or additions to the 1st edition plates may be released at any point between annual releases at the discretion of the Standards Engineer. These revised or added plates will include a 2nd Edition (or 3rd, etc.) label and should be incorporated into construction plans as soon as practical. A brief description of all standard plate revisions since the time of the last update are also available for viewing.
