DEFINITIONS
Regulatory Speed (In Work Zones)
The maximum permitted travel speed posted for the work zone is indicated by the
regulatory speed limit signs. The work zone speed must be shown or noted in the
plans. This speed should be used as the minimum design speed to determine runout
lengths, departure rates. flare rates. lengths of need. clear zone widths. taper
lengths. crash cushion requirements, marker spacings, superelevation and other
similar features. .,
Advisory Speed
The maximum recommended travel speed through a curve or a hazardous area.
Travel Way
The portion of the roadway for the movement of vehicles. For traffic control
through work zones, travel way may include the temporary use of shoulders and
any other permanent or temporary surface intended for use as a lane for the
movement of vehicular traffic.
a. Travel Lane: The designated widths of roadway pavement marked to carry
through traffic and to separate it from opposing traffic or traffic occupying
other traffic lanes.
b. Auxiliary Lane: The designated widths of roadway pavement marked to
separate speed change. turning, passing and climbing maneuvers from
through traffic.
Detour, Lane Shift, and Diversion
A detour is the redirection of traffic onto another roadway to bypass the
temporary traffic control zone. A lane shift is the redirection of traffic onto a
diflerent section of the permanent pavement. A diversion is the redirection of
traffic onto a temporary roadway, usually adjacent to the permanent roadway and
within the limits of the right of way.
Above Ground Hazard
An above ground hazard is any object. material or equipment other than traffic
control devices that encroaches upon the travel way or that is located within
the clear zone which does not meet the Department's safety criteria, i.e .
anything that is greater than 4" in height and is firm and unyielding ordoesn't
meet breakaway requirements.
TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES
All temporary traffic control devices shall be on either the Department's Qualified
Product List (OPL) or the Department's Approved Products List (APO. Ensure the
appropriate OPL or APL number is permanently marked on the device in a readily
visible location.
All temporary traffic control devices shall be removed as soon as practical when
they are no longer needed. When work i5 suspended for short periods of tittle,
temporary traffic control devices that are no longer appropriate shall be removed
or covered.
Arrow Boards. Portable Changeable Message Signs. Radar Speed Display Trailer,
Portable Regulatory Signs, and any other trailer mounted device shall be delineated
with a temporary traffic control device placed at each corner when in use and shall
be moved outside the travel way and clear zone or be shielded by a barrier ar
crash cushion when not in use.
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLIST
When an existing pedestrian way or bicycle way is located within a trafficcontrolwork
zone. accommodation must be maintained and provision for the disabled must be provided.
Only approved temporary traffic control devices may be used to delineate a temporary
traffic control zone pedestrian walkway.
Advanced notification of sidewalk closures and marked detours shall be provided by
appropriate signs.

across the roadway.
b. During pulling operations, advance warning consisting of no less than a
Changeable Message Sign upstream of the work area with alternating messages,
"Overhead Work Ahead" and "Be Prepared to Stop" followed by a traffic control
officer and police vehicle with blue lights flashing during the pulling operation.
RAILROADS
Railroad crossings affected by a construction project should be evaluated for traffic
controls to reduce queuing on the tracks. The evaluation should include a minimum:
traffic volumes, distance from the tracks to the intersections, lane closure or taper
locations, signal tinting, etc.
SIGHT DISTANCE
Tapers: Transition tapers should be obvious to drivers. If restricted sight distance is a
problem (e.g.. a sharp vertical or horizontal curve). the taper should begin well in
advance of the view obstroction. The beginning of tapers should not be hidden behind
turves.
Intersections, Traffic control devices at intersections must provide sight distances for
the road user to perceive potential conflicts and to traverse the intersection safely.
ABOVE GROUND HAZARD
Above ground hazards (see definitions) are to be considered work areas during working
hours and treated with appropriate work zone traffic control procedures. During
nonworking hours, all objects, materials and equipment that constitute an above ground
hazard must be stored/placed outside the travel way and clear zone or be shielded by
a barrier or crash cushion.
For above ground hazards within a work zone the clear zone required should be based
on the regulatory speed posted during construction.

For nighttime activilles, Flaggers shall wear AN51/15EA Class 3 apparel.
FDOT DESIGN STANDARDS
FY 2012/2013
REGULATORY SPEEDS IN WORK ZONES
Traffic Control Plans (TCP's) for all projects must include specific regulatory
speeds for each phase of work. This can either be the posted speed or a reduced
speed. The speed shall be noted in the TCPs, this includes indicating the existing
speed if no reduction is to be made. Regulatory speeds are to be uniformly
established through each phase.
In general, the regulatory speed should be established to route vehicles safely
through the work zone as dose as to normal highway speed as possible. The
regulatory speed should not be reduced mn a than 70 mph be/nw the ➢osted speed
and never below the minimum statutory speed for the class of facility. When a
speed reduction greater than 10 mph is imposed, the reduction Is to be done in 10
mph per 500 increments.
Temporary regulatory speed signs shall be removed as soon as the conditions
requiring the reduced speed no longer exist. Once the work zone regulatory speeds
are removed, the regulatory speed existing prior to construction will automatically
go back into effect unless new speed limit signing is provided for in the plans.
On projects with interspaced work activities, speed reductions should be located in
proximity to those activities which merit a reduced speed. and not "blanketed" tor
the entire project. At the departure of such activities, the normal highway speed
should be posted to give the motorist notice that normal speed can be resumed
If the existing regulatory speed is to be used. consideration should be given to
supplementing the existing signs when the construction work zone is between
existing regulatory speed signs. For projects where the reduced speed conditions
exist for greater than 7 mile in rural areas (non -interstate) and on rural or urban
interstate, additional regulatory speed signs are to be placed at no more than 1
mile intervals. Engineering judgement should be used in placement of the additional
signs. Locating these signs beyond ramp entrances and beyond major intersections
are examples of proper placement. For urban situations (non -interstate), additional
speed signs are to be placed at a maximum of 1000' apart.
When field conditions warrant speed reductions different from those Shown in the
TCP the contractor may submit to the project engineer for approval by the
Department, a signed and sealed study to justify the need for further reducing the
posted speed, or, the engineer may
request the District Traffic Operations Engineer (DTOE) to investigate the need. It
will not be necessary for the DTOE to issue regulations for regulatory speeds in
work zones due to the revised provisions of P.S. 316.07451(21 (b). Advisory Speed
plates will be used at the option of the field engineer for temporary use while
processing a request to change the regulatory speed specified in the plans when
deemed necessary. Advisory speed plates cannot be used alone but must be plated
below the construction warning sign for which the advisory speed is required.
For additional information refer to the FDOT Plans Preparation Manual, Volume 1.
