SECTION 922 — TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION SIGNS 900-59 — TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION SIGNS
922.01 Description.
This work includes providing temporary construction signs at the required locations. Ensure that all signs and sign drawings comply with the currently adopted edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
922.02 Materials.
Use plywood or aluminum sheeting, reflective sheeting, wood posts, and other materials that conform to SECTION M16.
922.03 Construction Methods.
Design and Fabrication. Erect the signs and devices before the beginning of work as directed. Immediately remove the signs when the need no longer exists and replace without cost to the Department if any signs are damaged such that their usefulness has been compromised. Ensure that all signs have been reflectorized according to Subsection M16.02, and ensure that the signs are legible and in new condition. Ensure that all signs are located to avoid obstructing the sidewalk. Provide the number and type of construction warning and guide signs ordered by the Engineer. Reuse and relocate signs as required or directed by the Engineer at the various locations as the sequence of construction progresses. Perform the reuse and relocation of signs at no additional cost to the Department. If the Contractor provides additional signs for its convenience, no additional payment will be provided. Modifications of Warning Sign Shapes within Narrow Medians or Adjacent to Retaining Walls. In these cases, do not modify any diamond shaped warning sign panels to be used for temporary traffic control by cutting off the left or right points of the sign. Use the Plan location for proper installation without modification to the shape of the sign, and provide a distance plaque, if appropriate. If relocating the sign is not an option due to physical constraints, use a rectangular sign panel and orient the sign so that the longest edge is installed vertically as described in the Plans. Sign Mountings. When construction operations are such that wood post mounting is impractical, mount temporary construction signs on portable support systems specifically designed for this use. The support system may be one of the products on the Department’s Approved Materials List.
