Office of Traffic, Security, and Technology 9 General Design Process 3.Add the two totals from Steps 1 and 2, rounding to the nearest number divisible by 6 (6 increments) –This figure is the panel height –Bear in mind that an adjustment may have to be made in border and horizontal line thickness to achieve the right size 4.Because of the rounding of the panel height in Step 3, spacing likely will need to be adjusted –To do this, find the difference between the rounded panel height and the actual total from Step 3 –Then distribute this difference between the spaces on the panel, ensuring to keep B measurements equivalent, D measurements equivalent, and E measurements equivalent –Exceptions to this rule may be necessary in some cases to account for words containing low-hanging letters, such as g, j, p, q, and y, or in other situations
