Safe and Effective Temporary Traffic Control for Mobile Operations on Two-Lane Roadways
Mobile operations can either move continuously along the roadway as during most striping
operations, or intermittently as during a pothole patching operation. Mobile operations on two-lane
roadways present unique challenges to transportation agencies, not the least of which is the
highly variable conditions encountered in the field.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Web-Only Document 354:
Safe and Effective Temporary Traffic Control for Mobile Operations on Two-Lane Roadways
describes the available Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) strategies currently in use, itemizes
the perceived hazards and practical challenges associated with implementation of those
strategies, and explains how maintenance crews can adjust TTC strategies based on actual field
conditions.
Supplemental to the report are a
Guidelines Document and a
PowerPoint Presentation.
