The temporary traffic control zone includes the entire section of roadway between the first advance warning sign through the last traffic control device, where traffic returns to its normal path and conditions.

You are designing/implementing a temporary traffic control zone on a multi-lane undivided highway, working on the median lane (in the travel way) up against the roadway's centerline.  Assume that the work will take several days.

1.  Using the Florida Design Standards, what Design Standard Index (i.e. Index 601 sheet 1 of 1) would you use to plan/implement a temporary traffic control zone described above. 

2.  If cones were to be used to create the taper (later transition,) how many cones would be used to create the taper (lateral transition) if the posted speed is 55 mph and the width of the lane is 12'. Hint: what is the length of the taper and the distance between devices (cones). Divide the total distance by the distance between devices.

3. Continuing with this hypothetical scenario, what signs would be used and how many of each sign would be used to create this temporary traffic control zone?]]> 2018-01-11 18:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/peter_cavalli/bf6mkbme2xog/wish/220731410 peter_cavalli https://padlet.com/peter_cavalli/bf6mkbme2xog/wish/220737155 http://www.fdot.gov/roadway/DS/18/Ser/TrafficControlThroughWorkZones.pdf]]> 2018-01-11 18:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/peter_cavalli/bf6mkbme2xog/wish/220737155 peter_cavalli https://padlet.com/peter_cavalli/bf6mkbme2xog/wish/220739786 4.  Being that this project is located up against the roadway's centerline, what will need to be done so that our work doesn't impact traffic on either side of the roadway's centerline.  Please use and cite the General Notes # (on the Index # identified in question #1) as well as a description of your work.

5.  How long would you estimate that it would take to set up this Traffic Control Zone (subjective answer - but you will need to justify this answer?)  What is the first item to be installed?  What is the last thing to be installed?

6.  What is the first item to be removed when breaking down the Temporary Traffic Control Zone?  What is the last thing to be removed when breaking down the Temporary Traffic Control Zone?

7.  What certificate, offered by the Florida Department of Transportation, would you need to obtain to maintain a traffic control zone?

8.  Extra Credit:  What online document would you use to assure that all devices are approved to be used on the State Highway System by the Florida Department of Transportation?]]> 2018-01-11 18:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/peter_cavalli/bf6mkbme2xog/wish/220739786 peter_cavalli https://padlet.com/peter_cavalli/bf6mkbme2xog/wish/256719236 Groups were created based on perceived level of expertise and understanding of previous FDOT related material.
