Appendix Appendix A: Sign Index in Nomenclature Order

Application

Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) Maintenance and Protection of Traffic Standards applies to contractors; utilities; Federal, State, County, and Municipal governments; and others performing construction, maintenance, emergency, permit work, utility work, or any other type of work on highway or so closely adjacent to a highway that workers, equipment, or materials encroach on the roadway or interfere with the normal movement of traffic. This also includes any special event that necessitates the need for temporary traffic control. Refer to 67 Pa Code §212.402 for a complete list of types of work that are exempt from the requirements contained in this standard and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

The PTC Maintenance and Protection of Traffic Standard drawings mentioned hereafter will be referenced as PTS (Example: PTS 910-7).

PTC Maintenance and Protection of Traffic Standards have precedence over information found in PennDOT Publication 213 and the MUTCD. Furthermore, the PTS drawings shall be utilized in lieu of a Publication 213 or MUTCD Typical Application drawing when roadway conditions are similar (For example PTS 900-3, PTS 905-3, PTS 910-3, and PTS 915-3 would have precedence over PATA 306, PATA 603, and MUTCD TA-35 for a mobileoperation on a multi-lane highway). PTS Applications (000 series) are general in nature and meant to be a possible component of temporary traffic control zones shown in most PTS drawings (900 through 940 series). Multiple PTS drawings (900-940 series) may be combined to create a customized temporary traffic control zone, however, customized traffic control setups shall be approved by the PTC prior to implementation. Install traffic control devices as shown on an approved customized traffic control plan if a PTS, Publication 213, or MUTCD Typical Application drawing does not apply.

The traffic control schemes shown in this standard are normally applicable for both urban and rural areas. Since it is not practical to provide detailed guidelines for all the situations that may conceivably arise, applications are presented for only the most common situations. These are minimum desirable applications for normal situations, and additional protection may be needed when special complexities or potential hazards prevail. The protection prescribed for each situation shall be consistent with the general provisions found in the most recent editions of 67 Pa Code, Chapter 212, Official Traffic Control Devices and the MUTCD as issued by the Federal Highway Administration and should be based on common sense; engineering judgment; thespeed and volume of traffic; the duration of the operation; the exposure to potential hazards; the physical features of the highway including horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, and the presence of intersections and driveways; and other important factors.

General Notes Definitions (Page 1 of 2)Buffer Zone - Area that separates traffic flow from the work zone. Buffer zones must remain clear ofequipment, vehicles, workers, and materials. The length of longitudinal buffer zone is defined on the PTS figures and may be increased for downgrades or other conditions that affect stopping sight distance.

• Longitudinal buffer zone is located in advance of and after the work zone.• Lateral buffer zone is located between flowing traffic and the work area.

Long-Term – Work that occupies a location for more than 12 hours for more than three (3) consecutive days.

Mobile Operation - An operation where the work zone beginning and ending points move as the work activity moves. Work that moves intermittently or continuously for up to 24 hours.

PATA (Pennsylvania Typical Application) - Drawings within PennDOT Publication 213 that depict temporary traffic control conditions.

Portable Sign Post - Rigid device with steel posts for mounting temporary traffic control devices where minimum mounting heights of at least 5’ are required. Refer to PennDOT Publication 111, Traffic Control –Pavement Markings and Signing Standards TC-8717, for details.

Portable Sign Support - A folding, collapsible, or telescoping device for posting temporary traffic control devices where minimum mounting heights of 1’ are acceptable.

Roadway - That portion of a highway improved, designed, or ordinarily used for vehicular travel, exclusive of the sidewalk, berm, or shoulder.

Runout - Length of the taper of a series of channelizing devices for the purpose of moving into the normal path. Located immediately after the end of the work zone.

Shadow Vehicle - A vehicle positioned within the activity in advance of the work zone and work vehicles. The primary purpose of the shadow vehicle is to provide advance information to approaching drivers whileprotecting workers and work vehicles. Shadow vehicles without a truck mounted attenuator must be a 33,000 lb GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) or larger vehicle and loaded to weigh a minimum of 22,000 lbs., or as indicated on the Standard Drawings, in addition to meeting the requirements of PennDOT Publication 212. Vehicle must be equipped with a flashing, oscillating, or revolving amber warning light which is visible from any direction (360° visibility) and is not being used as a work vehicle. The amber warning light must be activated within an active work zone.

Short-Term - Work that occupies a location for less than 12 hours for three (3) or less consecutive days.

Shoulder - The part of a highway adjacent to the roadway which has a surface constructed with the same or similar material as the roadway. Shoulder width is measured from the center of the painted edge line to the outside edge of pavement, concrete, or finished surface.

Taper - A series of channelizing devices and/or paint lines installed for the purpose of moving traffic out of or into the normal path. Various taper types have differing minimum lengths, most of which are based upon an 'L' distance. The formula to determine distance L is shown on the corresponding PTS notes page. It should be noted that the taper length is a distance per lane; so if a single taper covers two lanes, the total taper length will be double the calculated or minimum distance.

• Merging Taper - Used when drivers in multiple lanes are required to merge into acommon road space. Minimum length is L.• Shifting Taper - Used when a lateral shift is needed. Minimum length required isdistance 1/2 L, unless traffic is approaching a one-lane, two-way condition; in this casethe minimum length is 50'.• Shoulder Taper - Required when closing a paved shoulder having a width of 8' ormore; optional in other conditions. Minimum length is 1/3 L, unless traffic is approachinga one-lane, two-way condition; in this case the minimum length is 25'.• Downstream Taper - Used in the termination area to provide a visual cue to the driverthat access is available back into the original lane or path that was closed. Minimumdistance is 50' per lane.

Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMA) - Shall be mandatory for placement on shadow vehicles utilized on freeways and expressways, including exit and entrance ramps. When a TMA is used, the weight of the shadow vehicle must be greater than the minimum weight specified by the TMA manufacturer.

Warning Lights – Yellow, White or Red lights that operate in steady burn or flashing mode. Warning lights on authorized vehicles may flash or revolve. Type A, B, C, and D warning lights are portable, powered, lens-directed enclosed lights.

General Notes Definitions (Page 2 of 2)

Worker - A person on foot whose duties place him or her within the right-of-way of a highway, such as highway construction and maintenance forces, survey crews, utility crews, responders to incidents, and law enforcement personnel when directing traffic, investigating crashes, and handling lane closures, obstructed roadways, and disasters within the right-of-way of a highway.

Work Vehicle - A vehicle available for use by workers within an activity area. All work vehicles shall be located outside of the buffer space and roll ahead space for shadow vehicles. Work vehicles being used in an active work zone must utilize the flashing, oscillating, or revolving amber warning lights which are visible from any direction (360° visibility).

Work Zone - The area of a highway where construction, maintenance, or utility work activities are being conducted, and in which traffic control devices are required in accordance with Title 67, Chapter 212.

PTS 900-1 - NotesGeneral Notes

Median Widths Greater Than or Equal to 15 Feet 1. Remove all traffic control signs and devices immediately upon the completion of the work unless otherwise specified in the special provisions.

2. Place all traffic control devices and have them inspected by the Representative before work begins.

3. Cover or remove from the site all signs not in use. Remove from the Turnpike right-of-way construction signs not needed or used for a period of two (2) or more weeks.

4. Maintain a minimum spacing of 200 feet between all regulatory, warning and destination signs.

5. Provide at minimum a 40 feet width beyond the edge of the travel lane free of obstacles and drop-offs greater than 2 inches in depth in work zone(s) during non-working hours or separate work zone(s) from motorists with temporary concrete barrier. Separation of work zone(s) is incidental to the MPT.

6. Details for the signs and devices can be found in these drawings, PennDOT Publication 236, PennDOT Publication 212 and are to be manufactured by a Department of Transportation approved manufacturer as listed in PennDOT Publication 35.

7. Use PennDOT approved Type XI reflectorized material for signs. Do not use metal or wood signs in median.

8. These plans are not intended to relieve the contractor of the responsibility for the protection of the public and the construction personnel. The standards prescribed are minimum and additional protection may be needed if problems are encountered during the term of the contract. The contractor will be expected to constantly review this plan for adequacy and to recommend changes for the Representative's approval when inadequacies are discovered.

9. Signs and devices may be adjusted to fit field conditions.

10. Concrete barrier details are to be according to PennDOT Standards for Roadway Construction, RC-57M, RC-59M, and PTC Standards for Roadway Construction.

11. Establish work zone speed limit of 55 MPH in all construction zones.

Establish work zone speed limit by installing 55 MPH work zone speed limit signs in median and shoulder 1/2 mile in advance of construction area access openings and truck crossings as shown on PTS 900-12C, PTS 900-12D, and PTS 900-13.

Establish work zone speed limit of 55 MPH when a pavement differential exists between any of the lanes.

Normal posted speed limit signs within 2 mile advanced signing area for work zones are to remain uncovered.

Cover or remove work zone speed limit signs when all normal lanes and all normal median and shoulder are available for the affected direction(s). Cover or remove work zone speed limit signs when temporary concrete barrier closes the median or shoulder.

12. Vehicles, equipment, material and workers are not to be located in the buffer zone.

13. Post the G20-2 (END ROAD WORK) sign and the normal speed limit for the area (55 MPH or 70 MPH) at the end of the work zone. If the physical work zone is followed by another physical work zone within 2 miles, then G20-2 sign is not to be used and the R2-1 sign at the end of the first work zone is to be 55 MPH.

14. Type B light is to be mounted on the side closest to traffic as shown on PTS 980 (Sheet 30 of 32).

15. Existing R2-2-2, "WORK ZONE SPEED LIMIT 55 MPH", signs may only be used for the remainder of their serviceable life.

16. Type B yellow flashing warning lights may be used in conjunction with warning signs, unless otherwise indicated on the drawings.

17. Use only for wide median areas greater than or equal to 15 feet in width. Median width is defined as the distance between the yellow edge lines for the opposing travel lanes. Refer to PTS 905 details for narrow median areas less than 15 feet in width.

18. If work zone, including advance signing area, includes median widths of both less than 15 feet and greater than 15 feet, follow PTS 905 details for entire work zone.

Standards for Long-TermMedian Widths Less Than

15 Feet (PTS 905 Series)


Median Widths Less Than 15 Feet 1. Remove all traffic control signs and devices immediately upon the completion of the work unless otherwise specified in the special provisions.






7. Use PennDOT approved Type XI reflectorized material for signs.




11. Establish work zone speed limit of 55 MPH in all construction zones except when using tunnel cross-over traffic pattern establish work zone speed limit of 40 MPH.

Establish work zone speed limit by installing 55 MPH work zone speed limit signs on the right shoulder 1/2 mile in advance of construction area access openings and truck crossings as indicated on PTS 905-12 and 905-13.


Normal posted speed limit signs within the 2 mile advanced signing area for work zones are to remain uncovered.

Cover or remove work zone speed limit signs when all normal lanes and all normal median and shoulder are available for the affected direction(s). Cover or remove work zone speed limit signs when temporary concrete barrier closes the median or shoulder.


13. Post the G20-2 (END ROAD WORK) sign and the normal speed limit for the area (55 MPH or 70 MPH) at the end of the work zone. If the physical work zone is followed by another physical work zone within 2 miles, then the G20-2 sign is not to be used and the R2-1 sign at the end of the first work zone is to be 55 MPH.

14. Type B light is to be mounted on the side closest to traffic as shown on PTS-980 (Sheet 30 of 32).


16. Type B yellow flashing warning lights may be used in conjunction with warning signs, unless otherwise indicated on the drawing.

17. Use only for narrow median areas less than 15 feet in width. Do not use median signs. Median width is defined as the distance between the yellow edge lines for the opposing travel lanes. Refer to PTS 900 details for median areas greater than or equal to 15 feet in width.

PTS 905-11 - Notes Lanes Shift Detail

Median Widths Less Than 15 Feet1. Use the two lane detail when W > 2.5 FT. or W < 2.5 FT. and A = 24 FT. Use the three lane detail when W > 3.75 FT. and A = 36 FT. Shift traffic prior to and after work zone.

2. When lanes shift to the right, replace either W1-4BL with W1-4BR or W1-4CL with W1-4CR.

3. W24-1AL and W24-1AR signs may be used in lieu of the W1-4BL and W1-4BR signs when the tangent distance for the shifted traffic makes it difficult to install a second set of two lane reverse curve signs (W1-4B series). W24-1BL and W24-1BR signs may be used in lieu of the W1-4CL and W1-4CR signs when the tangent distance for the shifted traffic makes it difficult to install a second set of three lane reverse curve signs (W1-4C series).

4. Provide emergency pull-offs at a spacing of approximately 1 mile each direction through work zone when full shoulder is not available.

5. Taper 30:1 to outside edge of paved shoulder. From outside edge of paved shoulder, taper as per RC-57M. If full taper is not feasible in median, then see Note 6.

6. Provide proper end treatment for barrier, by tapering barrier and burying, tapering barrier and connect to guide rail per PTS-135 or barrier, or tapering barrier to provide temporary impact attenuator.

7. From this point, provide G20-5AP / R2-1 signs to the right of traffic at 2 mile maximum intervals through the lane(s) shift pattern.

Standards for Interchange Operations(PTS 940 Series)

1. Remove all traffic control signs and devices immediately upon the completion of the work unless otherwise specified in the special provisions.


3. Median areas less than 15 feet in width do not use median signs. Median width is defined as the distance between the yellow edge lines for the opposing travel lanes.




7. Details for the signs and devices can be found in these plans, PennDOT Publication 236, PennDOT Publication 212 and are to be manufactured by a Department of Transportation approved manufacturer as listed in PennDOT Publication 35.



10. Compute the minimum desirable taper length for reduction in lanes on ramps using the following formula:

Where L = Minimum desirable taper length in feetW = Width of offset in feetS = Normal speed in miles per hour





15. Type B Yellow flashing warning lights maybe used in conjunction with warning signs unless otherwise indicated on the drawings.


17. Install, reset, relocate, remove any permanent and / or temporary concrete barrier so that no blunt end of the barrier is exposed to oncoming traffic.

18. Except for MPT-09, MPT-10, MPT-11, and R22-1 signs, all other signs may be mounted on PennDOT approved portable supports, x-frame, with a minimum height of 1 foot from the pavement surface to the bottom of thesigns. Portable supports and signs must be removed from the roadway during non-working hours.

19. If Express E-ZPass closure work zone includes median widths of both less than 15 feet and greater than 15 feet, follow PTS 940-14 for entire work zone.
