Mount white or yellow retroreflectors as applicable, to the top or side of the guardrail on 25-foot (8-meter) centers. Mount the retroreflectors at a uniform height at least 24 inches (600 millimeters) above the road surface.

635.13 Temporary Pavement Markings and Delineation. Before opening a pavement surface to traffic, remove conflicting pavement markings by sandblasting or other methods that do not damage the surface or texture of the pavement. Make the removal pattern uneven to not perpetuate the outline of the removed pavement markings. Lightly coat sandblasted or removal areas on asphalt surfaces with emulsified asphalt.

Place and maintain temporary pavement markings that are neat, crack free, true, straight, and unbroken.

If temporary signs and pavement markers are substituted for temporary pavement markings, install temporary signs and pavement markers according to the MUTCD and plans.

For temporary pavement markings, use preformed retroreflective tape, traffic paint, or pavement markers as follows:

(a) Preformed retroreflective tape. Apply according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Remove loose preformed retroreflective tape before placing additional pavement layers.

(b) Pavement markers. Do not use pavement markers during seasonal suspensions. When chip seals, slurry seals, or tack coats are used after marker placement, protect the markers with an approved protective cover, and remove it after the asphalt material is sprayed.

(c) Traffic paint. Do not apply traffic paint to the final surface. Apply traffic paint as the temporary pavement marking if no work will be performed on the project for at least 30 consecutive days. Apply traffic paint at a 15 mil (0.38-millimeter) minimum wet film thickness or at a rate of 107 square feet per gallon (2.6 square meters per liter). Immediately apply Type 1 glass beads on the paint at a minimum rate of 6 pounds per gallon (0.7 kilograms per liter) of paint.

Remove temporary pavement markers before placing additional pavement layers or permanent pavement markings. Remove temporary markings after 14 days and apply permanent pavement markings unless approved by the CO.

635.14 Vertical Panels. Use vertical panels that are at least 24 inches (600 millimeters) in height and 8 to

12 inches (200 to 300 millimeters) wide. Use Type III, IV, VIII, IX, or XI retroreflective sheeting.

635.15 Warning Lights. Use warning lights of the types shown in the plans or according to the MUTCD.

Install warning lights with a minimum mounting height of 30 inches (750 millimeter) to the bottom of the lens. Secure lights to the top of the traffic control device they are supplementing. Use batteries recommended by the light manufacturer. Mount large batteries below windshield height and preferably on the ground. Replace batteries when they no longer provide satisfactory performance.

Use Type C steady-burn warning lights for delineation on barricades or drums. Use Type A low-intensity flashing warning lights on the first 2 barricades or drums in the merging or shifting taper series. Use Type

B high-intensity flashing warning lights on the first two advance warning signs. Type A and Type C warning lights are intended to warn road users during nighttime hours, while Type B warning lights are intended to warn road users during both daylight and nighttime hours.

635.16 Shadow Vehicle. Use a 19,800 pound (9000-kilogram) ± 990 pound (±450 kilogram) shadow vehicle equipped with a truck-mounted attenuator (crash cushion) attached to the rear of the vehicle, exterior flashing yellow dome light, and an arrow board.

Use the shadow vehicle to provide physical protection to workers from traffic approaching from the rear during moving operations.

Use the following procedures to close a lane of traffic:

(a) Move the shadow vehicle to a point approximately 200 feet (60 meters) from the first advance warning sign for the lane closure and stop on the shoulder;

(b) Activate the flashing lights and flashing arrow board. Begin the arrow board in the caution mode and after approximately 2 minutes display the correct flashing pass arrow;

(c) Move the shadow vehicle (now acting as a protection vehicle) along the shoulder to the first sign location, stopping approximately 100 feet (30 meters) before the sign location in a blocking position;

(d) Place the first sign then proceed to the next advance sign location. Repeat step (c) for the second sign and install that sign. Repeat this procedure until advance warning signs are installed;

(e) After installing the advanced warning signs for the lane closure, move the shadow vehicle into the lane that is to be closed to a position 100 feet (30 meters) before the closing taper location. Install the channelizing devices for the taper in the shielded lane; then

(f) Move the shadow vehicle off the roadway and past the taper on the shoulder and remain in position until the flashing arrow board for the closure (if one is to be provided) is placed and operating. Move the shadow vehicle with the workers as they proceed to set up the remaining devices as additional protection.

Alternate lane closure procedures may be used if approved by the CO.

635.17 Pavement Patch. Use an asphalt mix according to Section 403 or commercial available cold asphalt mix to repair potholes and rough spots in the traveled way before reopening travel lanes to traffic.

If cold asphalt mix is used, remove and replace with hot asphalt mix before placing succeeding hot asphalt lifts.

635.18 Temporary Crash Cushions. Use a crashworthy temporary crash cushion according to manufacturer’s recommendations.

635.19 Temporary Signal System. Use a temporary signal system according to MUTCD Parts 4 and 6.

Provide the names and telephone numbers of at least two emergency contacts who can be reached

24 hours a day, and who are available to arrive on site within 4 hours of notification to repair or replace malfunctioning temporary signal equipment. In addition, provide for emergency flaggers who can be reached 24 hours a day, and who are available to perform traffic control operations within the timeframes specified below until the temporary signal system is operable.

If the traffic signal malfunctions during construction operations, immediately begin traffic control operations using flaggers until the system is returned to normal signal operation. Complete traffic signal repairs within 6 hours of the malfunction.

If the traffic signal malfunctions during a period when no construction activity is taking place, begin traffic control operations using flaggers as soon as possible, but no later than 2 hours after the initial notification. Continue temporary flagging operations until the system is returned to normal signal operation. Complete traffic signal repairs within 12 hours of notification.

No payment will be made for the use of flaggers in place of a malfunctioning or inoperable temporary signal system.

635.20 Temporary Fence. Use temporary fence according to Section 619.

635.21 Temporary Rumble Strip. Use transverse or longitudinal rumble strips according to the MUTCD

Part 6 to alert drivers of an approaching flagger station or work area.
