About this file
This document contains spacing charts and guidelines for the Michigan Department of Transportation related to channelizing device spacing, sign borders, and roll-ahead spacing for maintaining traffic during construction projects. The charts provide specific distances and guidelines for the length of longitudinal buffer space, merging taper lengths, and maximum spacing for channelizing devices based on posted speed limits. It also includes details on the key types of tapers and their minimum lengths. Additionally, the document includes guidelines for roll-ahead distances for truck-mounted attenuator (TMA) vehicles based on their weight and the posted speed limit prior to the work zone.
The document is focused on providing technical specifications and guidelines to support construction projects and traffic control planning efforts for the state of Michigan. It does not contain details about a specific contract opportunity. The information provided is intended to assist contractors and transportation agencies in properly setting up and maintaining work zones to ensure the safety of workers and the traveling public.
