What should be included in the installation of temporary traffic control devices?

The inclusion of clear instructions and proper positioning of the temporary traffic control devices is crucial for ensuring safety and efficiency in a work zone. This aspect of installation aids in directing traffic appropriately, alerting road users to the presence of hazards, and guiding them safely through or around the construction area. Proper positioning is essential because it directly affects visibility and recognition at a distance, which allows drivers sufficient time to react and follow the traffic control measures.

Clear instructions help workers understand how to deploy these devices according to established guidelines, ensuring compliance with regulations and consistency in traffic control. This systematic approach minimizes the likelihood of accidents in work zones, thereby protecting both workers and road users. Without clear instructions and proper positioning, the devices may be ineffective, leading to confusion and increased risks of incidents.
