Work Zone Traffic Management Synthesis: Selection and Application of Flashing Arrow Panels

Author/Presenter: Noel, Errol C.; Sabra, Ziad A.; Dudek, Conrad L.
Abstract:

This report is a synthesis of research findings and current practices in the selection and application of arrow panels in work zones. The information presented here is based on a review of research reports and work zone manuals of a selection of state and city highway agencies, discussions with highway officials, and field observation of a selection of highway construction projects. The report presents an assessment of the state-of-the-practice and makes recommendations for further research and specification inclusions in the future revisions of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
