The objective of this research project was to determine the types of traffic control devices and methodologies that can be used effectively to improve the safety of mobile and short duration maintenance operations on various types of roadways. One product was required for this project: recommendations containing devices and practices to be incorporated into the Traffic Control Standard Sheets. These recommendations have been incorporated in Chapter 8 of Research Report 0-4174-2, Traffic Control Devices and Practices to Improve the Safety of Mobile and Short Duration Operations, and are available for immediate implementation statewide. In addition, the researchers have developed a series of maintenance traffic control plan standards that identify the appropriate type of traffic control for a given maintenance operation on divided and undivided highways. It is intended that these standards be used by maintenance forces on a statewide basis pending review and approval by the Traffic Operations Division.
